Try updating yum (I know, sounds a little strange) do "up2date yum" and
then run "yum update"

Subject: [Snort-users] Fedora Core Linux 3 -- Snort IDS
Hello Friends,
I have installed FC3 on my m/c and I want to configure
Snort, snort snarf, IDS Policy Manager & snort inline
(IPS) . But for that I wanted to have the latest Linux
o the box.
Buy when I try to do yum -y update (or) yum update I
get errors.
My configuration are:
/etc/yum.conf
-------------
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named
file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
/etc/yum.repos.d/local-base
---------------------------
# My local FC mirrors
http://mirror.stanford.edu/fedora/linux/core/3/$ARCH/os/
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/lin
ux/core/3/$ARCH/os
http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/$ARCH/os/
/etc/yum.repos.d/local-updates
------------------------------
# My local FC update mirrors
http://mirror.stanford.edu/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/$ARCH/
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/lin
ux/core/updates/3/$ARCH
http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/$ARCH
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
----------------------------
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever
/$basearch/os/
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releaseve
r
mirrorlist=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/local-base
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
------------------------------------
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released
Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$re
leasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$re
leasever
mirrorlist=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/local-updates
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
Now I tried the following & got the error report that
follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------
[root@secure yum.repos.d]# yum update
Setting up Update Process

http://mirror.stanford.edu/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml:

[root@secure yum.repos.d]#
[root@secure yum.repos.d]# pwd

Now I tried the -y option:
--------------------------
[root@secure yum.repos.d]# yum -y update

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No

[root@secure yum.repos.d]#
Conclusion:
-----------
I tried all the options , but without any avail, I am
able to browse & connect to Internet from my Linux box
& able to ping the Gateway,
but as per above the Error 256 has something to do
with Name resolution.
Can anybody please help me in this scenario.
Thanks & Regards
Pradeep
