According to the man page for yum there is some proxy support: Proxy configuration If you would like to use a proxy with yum you can simply set a shell environment variable of http_proxy. Set it to the url for your proxy. Ex: "http://your_proxy:port/" My proxy requires a username and a password. Will yum work with my proxy or will there need to be some sort of coding required to update yum ? -Thanks Stephen More __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
