Jim Thanks for the pointers. My yum.conf matches yours and has enabled=1. But you started me looking. My yum log file has at the end: ... Oct 15 05:21:34 Updated: openssl097a.i386 0.9.7a-3.1 Oct 15 05:21:36 Updated: texinfo.i386 4.8-4.1 Oct 15 05:21:41 Updated: openssl-devel.i386 0.9.7f-7.10 Then checking /etc/rc.d/init.d/yum script I see that it does nightly updates and that the lockfile in /var/lock/subsys/yum exists. Is is that yum is smarter than me (not to hard) and silently does the update, so that when I manually run yum update there is really nothing to update?
