This is what I meant by AWS auth:
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?RESTAuthentication.html
Does S3 support HTTP Basic authentication? I can't seem to find any refs to
that. Are you assuming a web server between the yum client and S3? I'm
looking to have the EC2 instance directly pull from a repo stored on S3.
Maybe my google skills are broken :-)

I'm currently using the rightscale centos 5.2 ami.

thanks!
