This morning our site network (2Gbps) has been drastically slowed down. I was then advised that one of our RH9 boxes has gone into a loop in trying to talk to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com:443. I stopped the up2date process and also the rhnsd daemon, and soon was told that the site network has recovered. The RH9 box is using a kernel 2.4.20-24.9smp, and up2date 3.1.23.2-1. The up2date log just shows Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linmux-i386-9... and /var/log/up2date shows the usual [Wed Dec 24 03:13:09 2003] up2date updating login info [Wed Dec 24 03:13:09 2003] up2date logging into up2date server [Wed Dec 24 03:13:09 2003] up2date successfully retrieved authentication token from up2date server [Wed Dec 24 03:13:09 2003] up2date availablePackageList from network I cannot see the cause of the problem. Any idea anyone? Peter -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
