[K12OSN] Yum updates and Proxy Settings (chapter 2)

[Ronnie Miller]

Hey guys, I'm still not having any luck with this issue. Since we started
the authenticating to our LDAP server to get proxy access, I've been
unable to get any updates or do anything with yum.

I tried what Dan suggested below (thanks Dan!), but I get the following
error:

"-bash: export: `10.10.100.1:8080/': not a valid identifier"

10.10.100.1:8080 is the address of my proxy. Any ideas?
