Dear Johnny, According to "man 5 yum-updatesd.conf": (..) do_update Boolean option to decide whether or not updates should be automatically applied. Defaults to False. do_download Boolean option to decide whether or not updates should be automatically downloaded. Defaults to False. (..) So, appears that yum-updatesd can download, notify and install updates.. but none of this works on a fresh CentOS 5.2 :-( I will try yum-cron.. but I'm also interested in testing yum- updatesd, none is using it? there's no patch to solve this? Thanks.. Regards, -- Santi Saez
