Hi, my fedora pc is only allowed to connect to the repositories I configure in ../rhn/sources.
But it seems up2date hangs if it cannot connect to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com
strace of up2date
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(443), sin_addr=inet_addr("66.187.232.101")}, 16 <unfinished ...>
Then up2date hangs.
Here is my sources file: ### an yum style repo ### format: ### type channel-label url
#yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1
yum fedora-core-1 ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/1/i386/os/Fedor a/RPMS
#yum updates-released ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/updates/1/i 386
yum updates-released ftp://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/core/updat es/1/i386/
#yum updates-released http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1
#yum updates-testing http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1
### an local directory full of packages ### format #dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/
# multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used. Depenencies # can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.
