sorry for all these typos ... :)

one more thing though: of course you should allow the http (or www) traffic from
the lan to the wan zones :) at least during the updates session. If you're
using the proxy, you already have the right rules added.

I'm glad it works for you.  It doesn't work for me.  It seems likely that I 
have a borked installation.

I'm willing to debug my system to determine if the fault is mine (very 
possible) or not.  If someone would kindly tell me which file or rpm 
contains the information, I will be able to figure out what is happening.

same thing here ...

but if you want to dig and see how it's done ... simplay have a look at
the apache log messages will working with the frontend ...
/var/log/httpd-naat/httpd-naat.error_log

You'll find out that two backend variable are used : the *Mirror* ones. If
you check in the backend variables list you'll find out that a sript is
used for one of them: /usr/share/naat/scripts/mirrors.pl (perl script
using a silly curl line)

Florin,

What's the underlying mechanism for the list?  Is it simply a URL known to 
SNF or is it a file containing the list?  If I knew what file to look for, 
I'd be able to determine if it's missing, empty, corrupt, ...

Florin,

I've just installed snf-en-8.2-3mdk.noarch.rpm, 
shorewall-1.2.6-2mdk.noarch.rpm, and fwlogwatch-0.5.2-1mdk.i586.rpm from 
rpmfind.net.  The Official Mirror List is still empty.

On top of a Mandrake 8.1 installation, I installed 
snf-en-8.1-2mdk.noarch.rpm and the rpms on which it depends.
