The easiest way I can think of is: [root machine ~]# yum list foobar Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Setting up repositories rhel-i386-client-suppleme 100% |=========================| 1.4 kB 00:00 rhel-i386-client-5 100% |=========================| 1.4 kB 00:00 rhel-i386-client-workstat 100% |=========================| 1.4 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Those are the three repos I am connected to. "yum list" lists all packages that match the word foobar - I deliberately chose something that would return no results, but even if it did, it wouldn't matter to you. You can't list the repos without actually running Yum because they are fetched from your satellite server via a yum plugin for RHN. -- Sam
