How do I turn this off and if anyone can explain why it would need to talk to www.redhat.com that would also be great.
You could try running strace on yum and seeing exactly which URL it was looking for, which would probably point you in the right direction.
I trust that all references to redhat.com have been removed or commented
out in yum.conf and yum.repos.d/* ?
I guess yum is trying to get the GPG public key in order to check signatures.
