I know this got improved at the time, but I may have seen a message on the list indicating further problems. Basically the yum code would dns lookup the mirrorlist/baseurl domains, then connect to the proxy and request the URL using the looked up number. At my site this wouldn't work because no machines are actually allowed to do the DNS lookup. At the time I could workaround it by supplying the proxy address and URLs as IP numbers. yum has a debug parameter -d, so try yum -d 15 update should give more useful messages about what is happening. > (The software up2date on Centos use yum?)

I wonder if you could ~trick the proxy by authenticating from the web browser, and then running yum afterwards ? Did you find the http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq ? And if you tried it, how did you set up: http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/ DaveT
