CentOS does not need RHN capability, so we took out as many things RHN as we could in centos5. The CentOS-5 release notes have the specific packages removed: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1#head-4ddf14e5e9203ff36401c8ee32fb1835c71cf814 You can get those SRPMS from the upstream provider's website and rebuild them yourself: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/ (look for the rhn* and yum-rhn-plugin* files) Not that I am the Red Hat license police, but if you use a method other than RHN to get updates then you MUST ensure that you have an RHEL license for each and every machine that you run any RPMS that you get *_DIRECTLY_* from Red Hat on. If you do not have a license for every machine, and if you put Red Hat binaries on there anyway, then you are in violation of your RHEL terms of service. SO, while it is possible to get one license for i386, one for x86_64, one for PPC, etc. ... then to download the updates to one place and create a yum repo and update a million computers with those RPMS, it is not legal to do so.
