Reposync - A better tool than mrepo. Use this to sync down all channels a RHEL system is subscribed to and turn them into locally exposed yum repositories.

syncrepos.sh

#!/bin/bash
# This tool can be used to sync down Red Hat based packages from RHN using only Red Hat shipped tools

# To satisfy the pre-reqs for this script install the following two rpms:
# yum-utils
# createrepo
