Hello, In our orgnaization, the proxy username is our full email address. Hence, if I try to use the following format: http://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxx:port there will be two '@' (one addional from the username/email address) as follows: http://me@xxxxxxx:password@xxxxxxxxxxxx:port How can I configure Yum to get through?? I am using FC6. I have been trying since last six months, without success. Using escape characters dont work. Mentioning proxy /authentication in yum.conf as mentioned in Fedora Yum FAQ gives 'non-numeric proxy port' error. Exporting the http_proxy and ftp_proxy from bashrc doesnt work, neither that from /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh file. Yumex, Kyum dont work. Is there any way out? Thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Mortgage rates near 39yr lows. $510k for $1,698/mo.
