Ah. don't have the ol' authenticating proxy set up yet. Another project on 
the list.

So how does that tie into the SuSEwatcher/YOU and how they can't/can work 
with the YOU servers? I'm thinking that the authenticating proxy is on my 
end since the YOU servers aren't requiring any authentication right? So why 
would I need .curlrc to keep SuSEwatcher and YOU able to talk to the same 
destination? I assumed that SuSEwatcher and YOU used an identical method of 
contacting and querying the servers for info on updates but apparently not.

Is this a bug or am I not seeing the reason for different ways to get at the 
same (?) information?

Thanks,
Stan
