can you share the ip details so that i can login ?
Also,what's the firewall status?
If enable,disable it and check.
it isn't publick IP address, it is private, and unfortunatly i don't have control on the external firewall system.
What's the output of :
#getenforce
#uptime
#uname -a
Try :
#setenforce 0
and then try to update any package.

Is this after you made firewall disabled? (#setenforce 0)
Hi,

That's what I am saying,make #setenforce 0, and then try,most probably it should work.

Deepak
yes, before forewall was enabled and setenforce was enabled too, i didn't have problem.  do you think that might be some thing to do with proxy server or from redhat them selves?

even if i disable firewall still i have same error.
Is issue coming in exch02 also or it is working fine there? If issue is not coming there,then is the repo file in both servers same?Also,what other things are different in these two servers other than kernel.What's the OS (cat /etc/redhat-release),/etc/init.d/httpd status,ifconfig).

Also,do:
#ftp ftp.redhat.com
username:
password:
bye

If you are able to do this,then proxy is not a problem.
After doing ftp to ftp.redhat.com,logout and then try upgrading any pkg.
I do have 4 servers they all stoped updating,
is it secure if i enter my rhn username and password under ftp? by the way my server isn't xwindows, it is command base.
after issueing ftp ftp.redhat.com I get the following:

331 This FTP server is anonymous only.

shall i enter username and password, is it secure?
you don't enter your rhn u/n and p/w but your official userid (which is configured for ur project ) and ur password(which you enter for login) and immediatly after login you do bye(i.e.logout).
This is completely secure.
I have fedora and centos, i use it for practice, they do receive update?
by the way i managed to log in using anonymous  user with no password

Name (ftp.redhat.com:root): anonymous
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

226 Directory send OK.
Do you have team viewer installed in your system?
Can you download team viewer 5, and run it in your desktop (from where you are accessing the remote servers).
What happens if you do this?
#cd /etc/yum.repos.d
#yum clean all
#mv rhel-debuginfo.repo /tmp/rhel-debuginfo.repo
#vi my.repo
[rhel]
name=rhel
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/Debuginfo/
gpgcheck=0
#yum list

Now upgrade any package.
what is team viewer 5?
It is latest version of team viewer for desktop sharing.

You can download it from below link:
http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx

Also,did you tried  steps mentioned in my last post?
I tried didn't work.

if you have RHEL5, could you tell me how many repository files you have under /etc/yum.repos.d/. and tell me the content of the files?

I don't think /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo file is responsbile for update or package installation, that is what confusing me, under other destribution like fedora or Centos, all repository files are located under /etc/yum.repos.d/, with the mirror links to package server.
if you issue  (yum repolist all) you get some result showing that the rhel-debuginfo.repo is disabled by default (enabled=0), that is mean update has to be recieved from  (rhel-x86_64-server-5, rhel-x86_64-server-vt-5 and rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5), where are the repos file that tell to get update from rhel-x86....etc? see below


[root@intranet~]# yum repolist all
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
repo id                        repo name                          status

thanks, the internet connection was the problem
Hi,
Good that your problem is resolved but I din't understood this that how were you able to login to ftp.redhat.com .
I din't slept peacefully for two nights because of this and if your problem is really resolved then it's fine.
If you are getting any issues then do let me know.
Deepak
