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
Thanks for the tip Lanny. Just set it up and will let it fly with priorities only.
