Good evening everyone.

I have just installed SuSE 9.0 SLES, and when I try to use YOU, I get an authorization prompt for ID/password for the two update servers listed by default under "Installation source", which are:

http://sdb2.suse.de/download
http://sdb.suse.de/download

I have no idea what they're prompting me for here, or even if they should be prompting me - I heard that SuSE updates were free. The CDs I have are from my work, and we have a site-wide license for SLES - but of course no documentation on registration codes or IDs or anything. So, I went to the Novell SuSE website and registered for a free username, but noprodcut registration is associated with that because... I can't find that stuff. But YOU is not accepting this ID and password, so maybe that's not what they're looking for.

Is there a list of YOU update servers out there? I saw the sticky thread for the YAST servers, but I guess that's for updating software packages etc, not bug fixes and system updates.

Needless to say I'm a noob.

Any help would be appreciated!

Did some digging and found out that SLES, since it is the fully-licensed Enterprise Version, has its own protected updates server, which is a bit annoying - I had to fish out some id/password from work to get it going. I wasn't used to this, since 9.x Professional used non-authenticating mirrors for updates.

Thanks Laserjock!
