Ok.. I'm way behind the 8-ball on setting things up correctly, but after going over the protection things in yum, I ran a yum check-update and it returned with having 318 files excluded because of protection. Is that too high a number? I have the numerical protection set to 1. Is there a good tutorial about how to correctly set up the protect base.
I'd go with the priorities plugin.

Just to be on the safe side, I installed both plugins and have them configured now. FWIW, I did a yum check-update and for some unknown reason, I got no dependency issues and nothing was tagged for update! Surely the addition of the protectbase and priorities plugins didn't do that???
I appreciate all you all have responded, and apologize for the lame questions. Time for me to do some more list reading I suppose.
Sam: Having both plugins installed is probably *not* a good thing to do. As was previously suggested, probably best to go with Priorities. Read this page: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities I think the number of Packages being excluded (318) is in the ballpark. 73, Lanny
