work your only option may be to contact the proxy admin and obtain a
username without the @
If putting '\@' to escape the at sign didn't work, have you tried
using the URL escape code of '%40' to represent it?
I was really curious about this, so I googled around a bit. I don't know
about the support in the environment variables, but from what I'm
reading, the "%40" encoding should definitely work if you use the proxy
variables in yum.conf, ie:
proxy=http://proxyserver.somedomain.local:portnum/
proxy_username=username%40stuffafteratsymbol
proxy_password=password
This should at a minimum be true for CentOS 4.5 since I cracked open the
python on my box to see exactly what the proxy code was doing :)
