Re: [PLUG] rhel proxy


I don't believe RHEL up2date supports SOCKS. You'll have to use something like Squid, or configure NAT somewhere. I personally use Squid without any problems.

Or just download the patches on one box, and NFS mount /var/spool/up2date on all the others.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS REQUEST:

We have a rack of servers that are isolated from the world and only accessed thru a VPN server.  
We need to be able to get out to the internet to pull patches, etc
so I requested internet access from one IP that we'll use as a proxy server for the rest of the kit.

It is running RH and I'd like socks proxy or equivelent set up.  

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON A PATH FORWARD?
