Back to the point has anyone found / thought of implementing a kind of Enterprise level YUM with the same sort of manageability of RHN. I looked at it myself but felt it would involve too much of a rewrite to the YUM clients to do.
I published the necessary hooks to do so two years on the yum mailing list, and sell services based on this already. I know of another list member who does this as well.
The include functionality for remote yum.conf entries was a result of some needs I had in this area, which seth kindly added; I also use variants of that code at the anaconda/kickstart install time for new host sccessionsing, and rule based (database driven) config customization
Does YUM even support any kind of authentication HTTP or FTP?
yes
