Hi All, Back again, been a bit busy, have kind if found a workaround and maybe a why, but have no idea how this is happening... Any thoughts, gratefully received.

Ahhh, see what you mean. Ran through a few tests to work out what is going on, but tbh am a bit confused here, here's what happened. As you mentioned, I wasn't calling it in the same way, so (starting from fresh)...

Please verify its path and try again So it doesn't work either. After some poking around, it seems it's the config file that causes the error, but wasn't sure why... Creating a separate config file... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat ~/cobblerrepos.conf [c5i386updates] name=c5i386updates baseurl=http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5/updates/i386/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Which is the same (apart from the priority, did remove, no difference) as the generated /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/c5i386updates.repo [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/c5i386updates.repo [c5i386updates] name=c5i386updates baseurl=http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5/updates/i386/ enabled=1 priority=99 gpgcheck=0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# reposync --config=~/cobblerrepos.conf --repoid=c5i386updates --download_path=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror -a i386 Again this fails. However I did notice (whilst mis-typing) that --repoid=updates got much further. After adding the above repo definition into my standard yum repos (/etc/yum.repos.d) the above command worked fine. After some more digging, if I add [main] and my proxy details to the top of the conf file, all works fine. Eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat ~/cobblerrepos.conf [main] proxy=http://proxy.ad.kew.org:8080 [c5i386updates] name=c5i386updates baseurl=http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5/updates/i386/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] cobbler]# reposync --config=~/cobberrepos.conf --repoid=c5i386updates --download_path=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror -a i386 c5i386updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 [c5i386updates: 1 of 329 ] Skipping existing RPMS/Cluster_Administration-as-IN-5.2-1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm [c5i386updates: 2 of 329 ] Skipping existing RPMS/Cluster_Administration-bn-IN-5.2-1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm [c5i386updates: 3 of 329 ] Downloading RPMS/Cluster_Administration-de-DE-5.2-1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm Cluster_Administration-de 100% |=========================| 1.7 MB 00:02 [c5i386updates: 4 of 329 ] Downloading RPMS/Cluster_Administration-en-US-5.2-1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm So... It seems that somehow the proxy info isn't being passed into reposync as expected. Which is just strange. I have configured the proxy info within /etc/profile so it should be hard-wired in there somewhere. It is also within /etc/yum.conf although I guess with a --config parameter it ignores and presumes you have it within the new config file. As an experiment, I edited the source and added a couple of lines to the action_reposync.py create_local_file funtion (diff below).

As mentioned earlier, don't know exactly whether this is a bug, by design or whatever. I can't believe I am the first to be using cobbler reposync with a proxy (not managed by me, is a ISA box), so maybe it's an oddity or something. Is it a failing in reposync/yum and needs reporting as such, or is it designed that way and hence Cobbler needs updating??? No idea, however hope this info is of use to someone.
