In FC5, I used chkconfig yum on, and verified with Administration->Server Settings->Services that yum service is on, I rebooted system and after 1/2 hour, used yum check-update, displayed a long list of items need to be updated - Seems yum auto update is not functioning at all. Next day I yum check-update again but still a long list of items to be updated. How do I know yum auto update is working? In addition to chkconfig yum on, do I have to do anything else to make it work?
The last time I had yum updater up and working I had the same problem. The only way I could make yum updater actual up date from a gnome interface was to select only 2 or3 updates at a time - made for a long process but in time it did update everything. I am doing a command line update all now. t is too soon to tell if it works but so far it appears to be going through all the right motions. With 32 out of 292 transactions completed I think it is time for the pub. Norm
