Is there a way to keep yum from overwriting my yum.conf when i update the machine?
It overwrote yum.conf leaving only my dag statements and put the centos base stuff into /etc/yum.repos.d. Is this something yum now does by default and if so is there a way to tell it to leave yum.conf alone and read only yum.conf?

I should not overwrite yum.conf ... or if it does, there should be an yum.conf.rpmsave

Are you moving from CentOS-3 to CentOS-4 via Yum?
The new yum does this by default ... there is no real way to turn it off. But if you change both yum.conf and CentOS-Base.repo (rem out all the CentOS-Base.repo stuff with # ... change yum.conf to the way you want it) it should from that point on save your files (at the very least).
If you delete CentOS-Base.repo, it will keep coming back ... if you modify it, it should stay as is.
