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

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.

It could be that there was a non-standard /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron
on my machines that wasn't looking at /var/lock/subsys/yum to
see whether the yum service was started or not, and when I
did the yum upgrade to 4.7 I got the standard one again which
started looking and saw that the service was chkconfigged off.
But in any case I saw that it was off and I never remember chkconfigging
it off.

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!
