[rhn-users] Up2date : SSL error (104 : connection reset by peer )

[Roselinda.Ackermans at cec.eu.int]

Hi all,

When using up2date, I get SSL errors (104, connection reset by peer ) from
time to time. Up2date will work for some time, and then suddenly stop with
this error. (see traceback below )
I also get the errors when I set 'useNoSSLForPackages=1' in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date.
It never stops at the same point.


For example, this is what happened when I asked two package installs + a
package list refresh :

bash-2.05b-29.0.3.i386.rpm: ########################## Done.
