I actually had already set a similar "proxy" line in /etc/yum.conf, and
it didn't seem to be effective.  I've also put proxy lines in the
specific /etc/yum.repos.d/dell* location, as you suggest, and had
similar issues.

I have had some luck by setting the "http_proxy" environment variable,
but even then, it still seems to be error-ing out, thus why I was
wondering if anyone else has gotten it to work and it's just me, or if
there's something else going on:

> [root@m7stage-1-2 ~]# export http_proxy=http://proxy1:8888
> [root@m7stage-1-2 ~]# dsu --inventory

I guess it's time to pull out the strace again, and see if I can figure
out what exactly is failing.
