2> Server yum-client :
===================

On Server side it’s optional, but in future it’ s good for you to install any package on server

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# cp rhel-debuginfo.repo vadapav1.repo
# Now open vadapav1.repo and you will see this :

[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch – Debug baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/Debuginfo/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Change the above to the following or make a copy of above and do below changes
[vadapav1]
name=Red hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.2>>>/pub/Server
enabled=1 ----> by default it is 0 --set to 1
gpgcheck=0 ----> by default it is 1 --set to 0
[Delete or comment last line gpgkey=file…… ]

# yum update list
# yum info gftp*

(If above two commands don't work, it means you have done something wrong in above two setups.)

>>>c. Open that file:

# vi station11.repo

>>>d. Do the following changes so finally station11.repo file looks like this:

[rhel-debuginfo] change to [station11]
name=Red hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug---> Given DNT
Change this line to the following:
baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.2>>>/pub/Server
enabled=0----> change to 1
gpgcheck=1---> change to 0
[Delete or comment gpgkey(i.e, delete the last line)]
