Yes, yum is the tool, but stopping/starting yum-updatesd definitely logs to
/var/log/up2date. And, RHN keeps sending me whining e-mails telling me my
system hasn't checked in.
yum-updatesd is logging to facility daemon, I checked by inspecting the
code with vim. However, on my system syslogd is not configured to log
"daemon" messages anywhere, which I find a bit odd. Check your
/etc/syslog.conf - it might explain your /var/log/up2date.
I've been grepping my system, and while I find references to the log
file I don't see any evidence that anything would _write_ to it. CentOS4
is different, it has up2date and I use it. It's just a little different
from yours.
What I suggest you do is run tcpdump (or wireshark) and see what traffic
your system generates that might suggest it's trying to contact RH.
Nothing there at all.
I've added a line to /etc/syslog.conf but it's too early to tell what
yum-updatesd is doing, if anything. It's not actually configured (on my
system) to be very useful.
You should add the line, and preferably bug RH about it; whilst I can
bug CentOS about it, a RHEL user doing so will probably get the
resolution for everyone more quickly.
