You only get RH updates via RHN and it is my understanding that using
these updates on non-RHEL machines is a violation of the RHN service
agreement.  Consult a lawyer if you have questions.

Discussed last week on the list.  You can either use a yum "file:///", use
the -k option to up2date, or (if you don't care about the rhn-applet) use
a dir repo.

If it doesn't have to be an nfs share, you can use HTTP or FTP to serve
APT or YUM repos.
