How do i increase the timeout period for yum? I have an ftp a/v scanner at the gateway that scans everything before it is allowed through. This makes yum timeout. I need to increase yum's timeout period please. God Bless, William -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
