Are you sure about that?  What does 'rpm -qi yup' say?

Most likely it's not in your path.  Yup lives in /usr/sbin which means 
that it's not in your default pathas a normal user.  You must be root to 
use yup, so either:
- login from the console as root (then yup will be in your path)
- when you su do a 'su -' to obtaon a login environment which will include 
  /sbin and /usr/sbin in your path
- use '/usr/sbin/yup'

If you really don't have yup, mount your cd and install it with rpm -i 
(or kpackage, or gnorpm), you will need python as well if that's not 
installed either.
