So while this is a bit of a re-hash on a problem folks have found a while back, it does warrant a revisit in that Fedora core 6 is now out and I'm anticipating a flurry of questions on why YUM Updates fail for all mirrors. It would seem that there exists some sort of bug in the SonicWall Security profiles that comes up with a false positive for a couple distros. I had it ONLY on disk 5 of the RHEL4-x86 So while this is a bit of a re-hash on a problem folks have found a while back, it does warrant a revisit in that Fedora core 6 is now out and I’m anticipating a flurry of questions on why YUM Updates fail for all mirrors. It would seem that there exists some sort of bug in the SonicWall Security profiles that comes up with a false positive for a couple distros. I had it ONLY on disk 5 of the RHEL4-x86_64 version that Paul Venezia and I are using for our currently running Blade server shootout. However, it also blocked our attempts at updating Fedora Core 6 using Yum.The solution was to turn off both Anti-virus and Anti-Spyware on my SonicWall 2040 running firmware SonicOS Enhanced 3.2.5.0-18e on ROM version SonicROM 3.1.0.2 Once BOTH were turned off, YUM updates worked fine. The good news was that we only had to turn it off at the top level, and not dig down to the individual interfaces. I’ll comment on this base post once we figure out what the exact exclusion would be as a work around. This way we can leave anti-virus and anti-spyware running, but still be able to do YUM updates.So to Warren Togami, thanks for all your efforts during your undergrad years on the Fedora project, and to Matt Szulik for the super cool Red Fedora and the memo. I wish we could have given Warren more than 3 credits for his ICS499 project that helped to kick off Fedora. Good luck to Warren in his new life with Red Hat.
