I had the same problem, and I've got round it by using 'webmin' and then reading the 'yum' report in its 'system logs' section each day. I also run the following script every five hours to tell me what is available for updating;- ====================== #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/yum check-update >/opt/logwatch/yum.update ====================== and this system works very well for me. Hope it helps you.
