I raised this with the yum developers and they have put username/password
support in yum - I was hoping that up3date would carry these changes
through, but evidentally it doesnt.
The specific errors Stephen is talkin about, up2date bawks at the ':',
saying "passwd at premium-download.planetmirror.com" is not a valid port
number. If you try FTP, it said that it can't find the host "user".

We have a regular update process that runs daily to fetch updates from
rawhide. We are considering running it twice daily, depending on demand.
When the rawhide server was re-organised recently, we temporarily stopped
our regular update (so that, if there were considerable problems, we
wouldn't destroy our local copy of the rawhide stuff). We recently
re-activated that, and it all seems to be up-to-date from our point of
view.
