This is my architecture for several boxes that I administer. I get a user
anonymous access denied message when I try to login with lynx
or wget, (presumably the same reason why rpm fails to download it). I
tried to access it at:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/vixie-cron-3.0.1-37.i386.rpm
and found that the actual url is:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/vixie-cron-3.0.1-38.i386.rpm
s/6.0/your version/;
s/i386/your CPU/g;
presumably a minor change was made after the announcement. I don't know
if the ftp.redhat.com address works under rpm. I don't know why user
anonymous is denied from ftp.redhat.com (or even if that was the reason
why rpm failed to get the file, it's error messages are atrocious).
cheers,
