Re: [SLUG] Ports needed for linux repositories

Sorry I figured out the issue. What I was having trouble with was a simple
yum update through RHEL 5.

What I had was to allow 443 between host and https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com,
which redhat documentation and redhat costumer service told me that was  all
I needed.

But I found that communication also needed to be allowed from host to
https://deploy.akamaitechnologies.com.

Joshua Rasnier

Depends what protocol you're using - http, https, ftp, rsync.
