I apologize for my how-to not being very detailed about setting up Dag's repo, but it was intentionally geared toward Nagios, not Dag. I simply create a dag.repo file which looks like: [dag] name=Dag RPM Repository For Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://dag.atrpms.net/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ http://dag.freshrpms.net/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 I don't believe this is the preferred way to load Dag's packages, however, thus the reason I mention to refer to the documentation for Dag in the how-to. I believe Dag's how-to for setting up access to his repo is to use apt-get. So you install things this way, then substitute the "apt-get" command for yum. Max
