pidgin yahoo login solution
Recently there has been a pidgin-yahoo connect/login issue.
Had to connect thru yahoo-web-messenger for two days until one of my friend figured out, probably from another web source.
The fix is :
All you need to do is add a line at the end of /etc/hosts file.
The line is :
66.163.181.170 scs.msg.yahoo.com
vim /etc/hosts
66.163.181.170 scs.msg.yahoo.com
