Here is the script that yum-conf (not yum) runs on install to turn itself on.

/sbin/chkconfig --add yum
/sbin/chkconfig yum on
/sbin/service yum restart >> /dev/null

If you had previously turned yum off
  /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 yum off
Then it is going to *stay* off.

This has been in every yum-conf since SL 4.0, so I'm not quite sure what is happening on your machines Steve.

Bug, I think
On sl 4.6 and before, yum wasn't listed as a service in
chkconfig, now it is.  Got to chkconfig it on manually.
Have seen this happen on several machines.

Hi, this is probably a Troy or Connie question, but I've noticed
that after upgrading systems installed with SL4.6 to SL4.8,
following the HowTo instructions on the SL web page, that yum
is turned off.

[r...@cx07 ~]# chkconfig --list yum
yum             0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off


Bug or feature?

Thanks!
