# man spacewalk-repo-sync

       Additional configuration options for yum_src plugin can be  placed  in
       /etc/rhn/spacewalk-repo-sync/yum.conf.  You  may configure per-channel
       options as documented in yum.conf(5) manual page.
       Don't forget to put [main] section there.

# man yum.conf
...
       proxy     URL to the proxy server that yum should use.  Set  this  to
                 `libproxy' to enable proxy auto configuration via libproxy.
                 Defaults to direct connection.

       proxy_username    username to use for proxy

       proxy_password    password for this proxy

# cat >> /etc/rhn/spacewalk-repo-sync/yum.conf <<EOF
