I'm pretty close to getting this mirror to work. I'm testing with the sample cfg you provided but I changed it a little. This is what I have in a file called mirror.updates73.
package=updates73 site=ftp.uvsq.fr remote_dir=/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/ local_dir=/public/ Now when I type mirror -n mirror.updates73 I get the following but it never changes. I think the -n option is for testing but how long do I have to wait before I see soemthing happen? WHat should i expect to see? package=updates73 ftp.uvsq.fr:/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/ -> /public ftp timeout set to 300 Scanning local directory /public Connecting to ftp.uvsq.fr 220- 220- -- Bienvenue sur le serveur ftp de l'UVSQ --- 220-Utilisez le compte `anonymous' avec votre adresse e-mail comme mot de passe 220- Merci de signaler les problemes eventuels a [EMAIL PROTECTED] 220- 220- -- Welcome on the UVSQ ftp site -- 220- Please login as `anonymous' with your e-mail address as password 220- Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 220- 220- 220 ftp.uvsq.fr FTP server ready. login as anonymous ---> USER anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password. ---> PASS <somestring> 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. ---> REST 0 350 Restarting at 0.

Can you > provide some more details to mirroring redhat distro's please? I use the application mirror which you'll find on the Powertools 7.1 CD. Install the rpm, edit /etc/mirror.defaults to match yours needs and make a mirror configuration file. Mine looks like: package=updates62 site=ftp.uvsq.fr remote_dir=/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/6.2/en/os/ local_dir=/var/ftp/pub/redhat/linux/updates/6.2/en/os/ exclude_patt=(sparc.*) package=updates73 site=ftp.uvsq.fr remote_dir=/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/ local_dir=/var/ftp/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/ You'll want to use the nearest mirror to you (go check on Red Hat's website) instead of ftp.uvsq.fr . Run the command "mirror <config-file>" from time to time and you're all set. Beware! This requires a *lot* of disk space (1Go for RH62, 530Mo for RH73).
