Hi All,
According to /var/log/yum.log, something is doing back
ground updates.
This morning the flash-plugin updated after I downgraded
it yesterday and I got a libvirt updated that crashed
my VMs. I did not ask for these updates. I am afraid to go
on the Internet!
How do I turn off these background updates?
I'd suggest looking at the output returned by --
sudo yum list yum-\*
Alan.
Todd,
More importantly - why are you not being notified by yum when the
background updates occur? Yum should be sending email to root when
that happens.
Who does "root" point to in your /etc/aliases file (last line of the file)?
Also, I strongly suggest you subscribe to the scientific-linux-errata
email list (non-discussion) wherein Pat Riehecky sends out notices
of impending errata updates a day in advance.

Hi Larry,
I usually do not read root's mail. I wonder if there
is a way to read it with Thunderbird without setting up
sendmail. Hmmm.
