Thanks for the reply. My aim is to program the controlled updation of all my registered RHEL machines in the network, via a single machine. Hence, don't want to use yum (machine specific tool).
As for downloading the RPM via RHN. I think there are a few discussions regarding that. Also, we are thrown a "401 Authorization Required" error when accessing listPackages as well as getPackages. Wouldn't there be a "404 Not Found" or "405 Method Not Allowed", if there was no provision to download? The problem I think is with the Request.
