Set up yum to get updates for RHEL5 system
To use the Red Hat repositories, make sure that you have installed the following package:
yum-rhn-plugin
and that you have registered your system against RHN:
# rhn_register
if you use a proxy, remember to specify it in the network configuration part of the assistant.
To manually set the proxy, fill /etc/sysconfig/up2date :
enableProxy=1
httpProxy=squid.example.com:3129
httpProxy=squid.example.com:3129
If the proxy requires authentication, also set these values :
enableProxyAuth=1
proxyUser=PROXYUSERNAME
proxyPassword=PROXYPASSWORD
proxyUser=PROXYUSERNAME
proxyPassword=PROXYPASSWORD
All yum options are detailed in:
# man yum.conf
To check that your machine is registered, run:
# yum update
