It was an assumption on my part. ~ The problem is everything in cron.daily gets run at 4:00am always. To get it to run at a different time, you need to use the Task Scheduler to add an entry for root to run '/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron' at the appropriate time(s) you want. Or you can use 'crontab -u root' to edit by hand and add an entry. I prefer the Task Scheduler approach.
Sorry, and good Luck, James -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
