Hi I am new to the list and I'm having a problem with 7.3 clients. I have set up a yum repository to patch a number of RH 7.x vintage and RH 9 boxes. The repository itself is a RH9 box running only vsftpd. The RH9 clients work fine, 7.3 clients,however, are timing out when issuing a nslt command for the header.info file. The problem seems to be that the 1.0.3 yum client doesn't use passive mode. I can grab the files by hand using ftp, but see the same timeout if I turn off passive mode. The repository box and the clients are on either sides of a firewall. Any suggestions? rgds Alastair Neil -- Dr. Alastair Neil Unix Systems Administrator IT&E Labs George Mason University (703) 993-3953
