Hello,
I have been having a similar problem, yum being unable to access
the RHEL 5 repository. The interesting thing is that this happens with
our RHN satellite too. But after a try or two, it starts working again.
Regards,
Daniel

Sadly no joy:
[r...@nolweb412 ~]# mv /var/spool/up2date/loginAuth.pkl ~
[r...@nolweb412 ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/rhel-x86_64-server-5/
[r...@nolweb412 ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/nol-ls-production/
[r...@nolweb412 ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/epel/
[r...@nolweb412 ~]# yum install httpd
