I've not tried this personally but I think you can use yum from CentOS 4.
There are some instructions here:
http://www.eth0.us/yum-rhel
I don't know if this will be able talk directly to RHN successfully, I
suspect not. So having thought about this before, what I imagine might
work is if you use mrepo to generate a system id for RHEL 4, register this
with RHN (so you'd need an extra spare paid for subscription) and then use
mrepo with the RHEL 4 system id to pull the rpms from RHN and create a local
RHEL 4 yum repo mirror. From there I think you should be able to rhn-push
this repo into a Spacewalk channel.
It's something I've thought about trying myself so we can centrally manage a
mix of RHEL 4 and 5 systems from Spacewalk here, but don't have time to do
at the moment. If you get it working I'd be interested to know.
Cheers,
John
