Is there a way to use an HTTP proxy (with a user/pass) with yum?  Or
at least a way to pass a user/pass through yum?  I have a situation
with a CentOS server behind a web filter appliance.

Add the following to /etc/wgetrc
http_proxy = http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/
ftp_proxy = http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/

Since when does yum read wgetrc?

I believe yum uses wget (or libraries) and wget reads wgetrc, I picked this up from the yum mailing list and it works too! :-)
