Hi !
Are there any settings I need to watch out for regarding FTP in order to carry out an on-line update using YOU.
It may be a co-incidence but since setting up the firewall YOU keeps timing out. It spends some time getting a list of mirror FTP sites to use (10 minutes) but then times out after 20-30 minutes trying to fetch the list of patches available. How can I figure out what is going wrong ?
--> There were some versions of YOU that tried to ping the FTP-server. If this is disallowed by the firewall, you will have problems. Try "ping ftp.suse.com" from the command line. Have a look at /var/log/messages to find out which packets are dropped by the firewall. This should give you a hint. Another thing is passive/active FTP. Try to set "passive_ftp=on" in /etc/wgetrc. HTH, Armin
