By default automatic updates are not enabled. There is a cron job for this, but it only runs if the yum service is enabled. So to enable automatic updates, enable the yum service. To see a list of the updated packages, I think that yum sends email to root containing a list of all recently updated packages once in a while. Regards Ingemar
