Hi Bill,
After checking the '/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron', I noticed this: ------------------------------ #!/bin/sh
if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then
/usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum
/usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update
fi
------------------------------
the '-e 0' option turns off most error reporting, while the '-d 0' turns off debugging messages. The values of those two vary from 0--10. By playing with them you can probably get about any level of reporting you want.
