[LON-CAPA-admin] CHECKRPMs for fedora

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting CHECKRPMS to work on my fedora boxes.  If anyone
is successfully checking rpms for their fedora machines, could you post or
send a copy of your CHECKRPMs file so I can compare to what I've got.

Each time I run CHECKRPMS, I get error messages like:
Trying ftp.ussg.iu.edu...
...cannot establish an ftp session with ftp.ussg.iu.edu

I don't know if it's the paths the addresses I'm giving in my
@serverpaths_to_try command or if it's something else.  So far I've changed
the update path to read
	$FTPUPDATES="$serverpath";
and I've changed the serverpaths_to_try command to:
	'mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.updates/',
	'ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.updates/',
	'ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/,

Are these bogus serverpaths or is there something else I'm overlooking?
