zypper refresh of opensuse repo's want authentication

[mike548141]

Hi,

When I use the script to add the repositories it prompts for authentication. There is no web proxy in the way and from the searches I have done it appears I need register for updates for openSuse?

I feel like I'm missing something basic here but I don't know how to create the username & password its asking for when the script executes a zypper refresh.

Thanks,

P.S>
1) It prompts for a username & password for each repo
2) I've tried my Novell login (http://download.novell.com) and it doesn't work
3) I can browse to the repo URL and I do not get prompted for authentication
It really seems like I need a login to use the openSuSE repo's but I can find no mention of the requirement

Sorry all, ignore the thread... my fault. Whilst there is no proxy server in the way there is a websense server on the network that sniffs out Internet requests by mirroring the switch port of the gateway.

So the auth is real but at my end!
