No problem. Reposync is actually a CLI command, cobbler just manages running it for you. From the log you sent, the command it runs is the following: /usr/bin/reposync -l -m -d --config=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/f17-x86_64-everything/.origin/f17-x86_64-everything.repo --repoid=f17-x86_64-everything --download_path=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror -a x86_64 > or do you mean some other command?

Yes, you will need to open up at least port 80 (maybe 443) outbound from the server you're trying to do this from. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
