The message doesn't change even if I explicitly set RHN before running the script. If I set it (from what up2date --configure gives me) and then try to wget something.... [root@rh72 root]# export RHN=http://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC [root@rh72 root]# wget $RHN/redhat-linux-s390-7.2/getPackageHeader/openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr --16:32:49-- http://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC/redhat-linux-s390-7.2/getPackageHeader/openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr => `openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr' Connecting to www.rhns.redhat.com:80... connected! HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 405 Method Not Allowed 16:32:50 ERROR 405: Method Not Allowed. [root@rh72 root]# export RHN=https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC [root@rh72 root]# wget $RHN/redhat-linux-s390-7.2/getPackageHeader/openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr --16:33:40-- https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC/redhat-linux-s390-7.2/getPackageHeader/openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr => `openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr' Connecting to www.rhns.redhat.com:443... connected! HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 405 Method Not Allowed 16:34:17 ERROR 405: Method Not Allowed. And when I leave RHN set and run up2date -u -v, it runs for a while (several minutes) and then always craps out in the same place: [root@rh72 root]# up2date -u -v Retrieving list of all available packages... ######################################## Removing installed packages from list of updates... ######################################## Removing packages marked to skip from list... ######################################## Getting headers for available packages... There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: 404: "Not Found" while attempting to get $RHN/redhat-linux-s390-7.2/getPackageHeader/openssh-2.9p2-12.s390.hdr There are a few #s printed after getting headers, too (overwritten by the error message), so it's clearly fetching some headers. This leads me to believe that there's a problem on the RH update site. Adam
