The current rhn-applet does not handle redirections (known problem reported in bugzilla). You can get around this until it is fixed by changing the definitions in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to the redirected URL. For example, http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1 becomes http://download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386 You can use lftp to check for the resolutions of the other URLs. -- Gene
