WARNING: certificate common name `*.fedoraproject.org' doesn't match requested host name `66.35.62.166'.

As I said, it is as though the fedoraproject site runs some test to see if the files metalink or mirrorlist should be seen by me, and for some reason my system fails the test. Incidentally, I seem to have no problem if I substitute my local repository, eg baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/x86_64/ for fedora-updates . -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
