Thanks.. > Hi, We use yum-updatesd on CentOS 5.1, 5.2 and Fedora systems. I have to admit that I have a 5.1 server sitting here telling me that it has a whole load of patches to install (the 5.2 updates), and I just didn't associate it with yum-updatesd not installing them. Like you we have configured yum-updatesd to do automatic installs, although we exclude things like the kernel for manual updating. Anyway. I've currently set yum-updatesd to do a check every 15mins (900 seconds) on one server. I'll look and see if there is anything obvious as to why it doesn't do the updates. I could see nothing about this on the RedHat bugzilla (no bugs reported for yum-updatesd at all under Fedora 9). I may test that tonight at home.
