hi people I am using yum to access a custom ftp repo that I access using proftp on port 2121. Access is authenticated but I just use a line in yum .conf like this ... [ftp repo] name=My ftp repo baseurl=ftp://username:passwd@xxxxxxxxxx:2121 I ran a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' on the server while running a yum update on one of the clients. Everything goes well but rather slowly. The tail shows me that the ftp client is logging in - downloading something (ie. header or package) then logging out, then it does this all again for the next header/package. All of this logging in and out obviously slows down the whole business. I am wondering if this is a natural yum behaviour or it is due to my ftp client and authentication stuff. Any ideas? thanks pantz -- Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes ... That way when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes!
