Good thought. But that machine can reach port 80 on the mirrors... nothing blocking it.

So it would appear that the problem is with yum itself... as installed on the problem machine. But it's been working fine for years and there's been no changes to yum.conf.

I've upped the debug level (to 4). I'll run that awhile and see what I get.

Is it possible you have DNS errors on that machine?

Or could permissions on a directory have accidentally been changed, and it can't create the socket?

Nooo, I just looked at errno.h, and that says corrupt shared library.
