I didn't get any responses on this, so thought I'd try again:

Been seeing odd behavior with yum/RHN since my 5.4 upgrade was done. See below.

OK, so far, but now...

This system, BTW, serves as an iptables firewall, and /var/log/up2date
confirms yum's communicating with RHN (and that my entitlement's valid):

[Wed Sep 16 10:52:46 2009] up2date updateLoginInfo() login info
[Wed Sep 16 10:52:46 2009] up2date logging into up2date server
[Wed Sep 16 10:52:47 2009] up2date successfully retrieved authentication
token from up2date server

Ideas?  Thanks.


I don't have a RHEL5 subscription to RHN to replicate your problem so here are some questions.

- Where's that Yum repo pointing to ?
- Have you tried to manually, from the gateway server, fetch that package ? - Do you see any network traffic at all (use tcpdump to filter packets for the repo) ?
