I found out that if I create a local repository using wget and remove the proxy information from yum.conf, the "download" still fails because it is trying to use the http_proxy environment variable.

You didn't export the variables you set, so the original values are what is passed to yum, not the cleared values. Try something like this: #!/bin/sh http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY= ftp_proxy= FTP_PROXY= export http_proxy export HTTP_PROXY export ftp_proxy export FTP_PROXY yum $1 $2 Of course I've never played with the proxy stuff, so I've no idea if those environment variables do anything or not. Just thought you'd want to know you needed a bit more for the script to work the way you want.
