Hi,

I'm just updating the yum.conf man page and have noticed a few problems
with the way some options are handled. Not sure if these are TODO or
bugs. I'm working off the current CVS code.

Here they are:

* the bandwidth and throttle options are passed straight through as
strings when they need to be converted to floats and/or ints. This
causes a crash in urlgrabber when it trys to multiply them together.

* the proxy, proxy_username and proxy_password, syslog_ident and
syslog_facility options are read up but never used.

I haven't finished going through all the options yet so there may be
more to come...

Regards,
Menno
