Hi,
I have no problem running yum update inside the root prompt, but when
running yum using sudo as logged-in as ordinary user and command the 'sudo yum update', I am having below error:
Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmforge
This happened even I try to export my proxy server since where using
them to connect internet. This is in a newly installed CentOS5 box. I also try to issue 'yum clean metadata' and 'yum clean all' but the problem still persists. Can you please give me the clue on how to solve this.
Thanks,

Is this appening even if you put the proxy=http://<host>:<port> directive on /etc/yum.conf ?

Do you mean http_proxy=http://<host>:<port>? Yes, it still happens even after I try proxy=http://<host>:<port>. Sorry for the delay answer, due to long holiday.
Thanks,
From 'man yum.conf' the syntax is 'proxy=http://<host>:<port>' (not http_proxy) Anyway it may be too that apt.sw.be is busy; you could try to use the local mirror list changing the following lines on /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo:
#mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge
Bye
