Hi Team,

following error:

[root@ess19 ~]# rpm -Uvh

Is the date/time set correctly on your server? If it's way off the
default metalink will be invalid and it won't get any info from it. 

If the date/time is set right, try doing: 

URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum install foo

and attach the last few hundred lines or so, that should indicate the
error.
