  1. I realise this is an old post but thought I'd post these instructions for others for future reference.

    This works, link

    Modify /etc/yum.conf to have the following lines included:

    # The proxy server - proxy server:port number
proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:9999

# The account details for yum connections
proxy_username=yum-user-name
proxy_password=yum-user-password

  2. That looks like an environment setting, yum's own variable is just straight proxy. Finding where it's set could be fun. Grab a look at the following files: ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc

    If it's not coming from there (user specific) try: grep http_proxy /etc/sysconfig/* or grep http_proxy /etc/*

    I would expect it most under sysconfig as that's the more typical location on CentOS for things like that (may be some benefitbenefit in using -R flag on that grep)
