Hey folks,
Corporate sprung an enforced proxy on us yesterday without prior notice and
now I'm scrambling with my RHEL5 boxes.
Google found me this nifty little bash function which I put in bashrc, and
it seems to work for the EPEL repo but not the base RHEL ones
function proxy(){
echo -n "username:"
read -e username
echo -n "password:"
read -es password
export http_proxy="http://$username:$password@servername:8080";
export ftp_proxy="http://$username:$password@servername:8080";
}
I just type "proxy" and it prompts for my UN/PW, and then I run "yum" and
it works with EPEL. Just not the base repos.
Here is what I get :
[root@solexa6 rpms]# yum -y install e4fsprogs
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, product-id, rhnplugin, security,
subscription-manager

There was an error communicating with RHN.
