Colin,

Tell us the output of
	service yum status

chkconfig only tells you if the service is set to autostart on next boot
up and does not tell us if the service is currently running.

The cron daily items are probably there to parse any log files and
report back via email to root what has been updated or needs updating.
Or if any errors happen along the way.

Thanks,
James Kosin
