I am not aware of a way to "sync configuration files" but if you push
all the configs you want to maintain into a channel(s) you can simply
then deploy all files from those configuration channels to all hosts and
be confident they will all be the same. Keep in mind though there are
some configuration file issues such as rollbacks do strange things (ie:
rollbacks in general will redeploy all configuration files). The only
way I have seen around this is to lock the system, rollback, unschedule
the bits of the rollback you do not want, unlock the system.
The sync'ing of package profiles (whether saved or to an existing
system) work very nicely. I have used it many times here. I have even
used it in a "rollback" process to pull a machine back to an old
configuration state known to be "ok" that only existed on a different
but currently operational server.

something satellite is good for? I browsed the documentation but so no mention
of how to take an existing system, all its configs and packages, and create a
channel that other systems can update from.
Regarding the packages, you could do it with a channel or a package
profile. I'd recommend the latter. Once the first system that you
want done is built (which you say you've completed), ensure that it's
registered to Spacewalk. Then you can build the other 4 systems, and
have them sync package profiles to that of the first system. It's one
of the advanced options in Kickstart. I'd tell you exactly where, but
my Spacewalk server is currently down in anticipation of the CentOS
6.1 upgrade that I'll be doing tonight. ;)
