When I try to execute up2date --nox -p, I get the following messages:

    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 339, in main
    up2dateAuth.updateLoginInfo()

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  up2date --configure --nox
    no proxyPassword or proxyUser specified
2.  up2date --nox -p
	

Actual Results:  The above error messages.

Expected Results:  An indication that my system's profile has been updated.

Additional info:

up2date --configure --nox shows the following:

26. httpProxy          cache.online.ee:80
27. headerCacheSize    40
28. forceInstall       No

I edited /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py, placing

        proxyUser = None
        proxyPassword = None
just before
        s = rpclib.Server(serverUrl, refreshCallback=refreshCallback,

This resulted in a successful run.
Comment 1 Fred New 2002-07-23 12:58:31 UTC 
Looking at the code of rpcServer.py a little closer, I see that enableProxyAuth 
should be "No" if I'm not going to specify a proxyUser or a proxyPassword.  In 
fact, I tried changing enableProxyAuth everything ran fine with the original 
rpcServer.py.

I believe enableProxyAuth was already "Yes" when I first ran --configure, but I 
wouldn't rely on changing the initial value to fix this problem.
Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2002-07-23 22:08:14 UTC 
I belive misa fixed in this about version 2.9.21 or so.
Comment 3 Jay Turner 2002-09-04 17:35:53 UTC 
Fix confirmed with up2date-3.0.2-2.
