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

The nightly yum always ran. Then after I upgraded to 4.8, that's when

I started noticing that the systems weren't running the nightly yum.
At the time, I was too busy to worry or care much about it as we started

Hi, this is probably a Troy or Connie question, but I've noticed

[r...@cx07 ~]# chkconfig --list yum
yum 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
Bug or feature?
Thanks!
