Yes, I just removed the files/dir.  It was actually just a link to the other 
directory (73, and 73newer).  When I was in transition to actually make 
73newer, newer (remove the link, make a new directory and put the new stuff 
in), I thought I'd see what type off error yum would send.  And that was what 
I got.

It is an http server.

On another note.  When I brought the server down completely I got a more 
normal message of

# yum update nedit
Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: 7.1.1 mail
IOError: [Errno socket error] (111, 'Connection refused')
URL: http://yort.fnal.gov/fermi/711/i386/RedHat/RPMS/headers/header.info
#

Which is actually what I expected when I removed the directory the first time.

Thanks
