Hi all,

Does anyone know why when I run the following command, I get thousands of
packages in the output, saying they've been excluded?

[root at server yum.repos.d]# yum --security check-update | less

Any other server I run this on *only* outputs the packages that need to be
updated? This is a CentOS 7 VM.
