[aclug-L] Autorpm

[Todd_Lundstedt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

OK.. it is installed, and libnet is installed, and I can find the output
mailed to root... but a message indicates it "Can't connect to ftp...."
I am behind a firewall.  I have added
FTP_Firewall ("firewall_servername");
FTP_Passive ("Yes");
I have tried it with and without the Passive setting, (default is No).
I still get "can't connect..." message...
Anyone have any clues???
I can manually ftp from the Linux server thru the firewall to get to
ftp.ou.edu, but the autorpm won't connect.

If you ftp to kulua.org and look in the /pub/RPMs/Sysadmin  directory you
will find libnet-1.0502-4.i386.rpm which you can install by typing
rpm -i libnet-1.0502-4.i386.rpm
This worked OK for me...
