Is this available on CentOS systems?
If so, what advantage does running it provide?

As far as I know, that package is used to register your server with
RedHat as part of the RedHat Network subscription system to get their
updates.

On a CentOS box it's pretty much pointless.

Unless you're using Spacewalk, the open source version op RHN, in which
case, it's very useful :)

I have all (ahum 10) my machines connected to a virtual server running
spacewalk.

I guess that's true.
It was just that I found the yum-rhn-plugin package available on Fedora,
and wondered what it was for.
