Or one could use autoupdate from
http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/ftp/autoupdate/.
It can be run as a cron job and completely auotomates the download and
installation of rpm updates. It has the added benefit of being able to draw
from more than just the Redhat ftp repository. For example, instead of
updating KDE from Redhat, I have autoupdate setup to keep KDE updated from
KDE's ftp site.
