CentOS webserver update question

Maverick918 · 03-23-2011, 03:05 PM

Hey Guys,

First time poster! Just have a quick question that may be pretty basic but I'm not sure.

So! I have a CentOS webserver that updates via Yum. Now, here is my issue, we dont want it wide open but Yum updates to all different websites to get the repos.

Is there a way to control where Yum goes to get it's updates so we can apply ACL and firewall rules for the updates?

Thanks!

Yum ports:

80,443

Web Addresses:

Code:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo|grep http

You might want to investigate some of the "mirrorlist" entries. Because yum will go to a hundred different places, depending on that mirrorlist.
