If you do not want it enabled by default, include the line "enabled=0" and use "yum --enable rpmforge <command> <parameters>". If that fails, post the .repo file for further opinions. For my local repos, I tend to NFS mount the filesystem and use "file:/..." syntax in the .repo files.

Sorry Karanbir, but I beg to differ. There seem to be some issues here that have to do with using yum and local repos on CentOS that are not RPMforge-specific. OTOH, an answer might come from there, so I would not discourage a post on that fine list if this does not help. Phil
