This is my architecture for several boxes that I administer. I get a user anonymous access denied message when I try to login with lynx or wget, (presumably the same reason why rpm fails to download it). I tried to access it at: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/vixie-cron-3.0.1-37.i386.rpm and found that the actual url is: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/vixie-cron-3.0.1-38.i386.rpm s/6.0/your version/; s/i386/your CPU/g; presumably a minor change was made after the announcement. I don't know if the ftp.redhat.com address works under rpm. I don't know why user anonymous is denied from ftp.redhat.com (or even if that was the reason why rpm failed to get the file, it's error messages are atrocious). cheers, sam
