CentOS 5.3
New updates available used to be flagged in the (Gnome) desktop notification area, but I don't get them any longer. What could be the problem?
yum-updatesd is set up with the default configuration (dbus), and on the machines I changed the notification to email, I do indeed receive these emails.

I thought I might have done something that caused me not to receive notifications from PUP or Pirut, after the upgrade from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 (32 bit)...... I am not getting those notification popups in GNOME either! However, on page 16 of the NSA manual about Hardening RHEL 5, they say that "The yum-updatesd service is not mature enough for an enterprise environment......" and they suggest disabling it and replacing with a "cron job that calls yum directly".

I also have stopped getting notifications of updates on the desktop after the upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 Also yum-updatesd sometimes reports "failed" on shutdown
The only other symptom is that if i login to the desktop if i open up a terminal and do "yum update" then there is a process that has lock through the yum pid but this goes away much more quickly than it used to.
no big deal in any way, just a bit odd
