Hy there,

i have a centos (4.?) Box with nightly yum update enabled. Last night, it did an upgrade to 4.7 leading to several problem i.e. not respawning the dhcrelay, which is needed on this box.

Can I control the update policy not to upgrade to new releases in the nightly updates? I would like do to nightly updates, but make release upgrades manual (I get a new kernel, so I have to reboot anyway).

Is that possible?

A few questions for you.

1. Nightly updates are not enabled by default. Why did you turn it on when your box has issues? 2. Aren't prudent admins supposed to test updates before applying them to production boxes?
