Oh, sure, the moment I sent the email, it started working... LOL
And this morning it stopped working again. Either yum is flaky when it comes to proxy authentication -- or this web filter is not consistent.
Ok, it is not actually working. I think I surfed via Firefox and authenticated the first time around when I thought it was working. With the above config, I get this message when trying to use yum...
# yum check-update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=extras error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication Required Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: extras
Perhaps the problem is that its a web -filter- and not really a -proxy-? Maybe I should try bypassing the corporate -filter- and use my -proxy- at home to see what happens.
Thanks, Scott
