No auth needed.

Just use any ftp-syncing software available and syncronize the part you
need to keep a mirror of the software. Please use
sensible settings (ie only fetch _changed_ or _added_ files) and a
secondaray site to keep the load down on the primary site. And don't
sync every minute, I do it once a day.

Then use yum to make your own repository. Share this repository by for
example apache (and your own changed files in another
directory/repository). By googling you can find out how to build your
repository with yum.

Then you use your own yum.conf on your machines. Here is an example
yum.conf using https and htpasswd, using the base repository and your
own repository with extra stuff. Dont forget to sync the updates
repository also.

# Original, mirrored base distribution
[base]
name=Tao Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
basesystem=1
baseurl=https://htpassw_user:htpasswd_passwd-CRnvh2AGM5H0gqI7WIYKb9BPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org/tao-$releasever-$basearch/taolinux/dist
gpgcheck=1

# Levonline repositories
[levonline_external]
name=Tao Linux $releasever - $basearch - External
baseurl=https://htpassw_user:htpasswd_passwd-CRnvh2AGM5H0gqI7WIYKb9BPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org/tao-$releasever-$basearch/external

You can also use this repositories for automated installs (kickstart).
It's efficient, fast, simple and bulletproof. Thank you David for doing
such a marvelous work on Tao.
