similar to: CentOS 6, yum-updatesd

I recently enabled yum-updatesd on two identical servers and configured it to notify me of updates via e-mail. This worked fine to start with and it notified me on both machines when the kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64.rpm update was released last week. However, today I realised that yum-updatesd was not running and thought it was due to rebooting after the kernel update and that I'd

Dear Srs, yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 appears that it's not working on freshly installed CentOS 5.2, using: # rpm -qa "yum*" yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos I see some bugs ([1], [2] and [3]) in the bug tracker, and more info related to other distros like Fedora, etc.. with the same problem.

Hi All, I am running CentOS5 . Yum pkg was installed by deault fresh installation. pls see below for installed yum pkgs.

But, in this vershion of yum, It has no crontab running. It has a file

Ever since someone told me that one of my servers might have been hacked (not the most recent instance) because I wasn't applying updates as soon as they became available, I've been logging in and running "yum update" religiously once a week until I found out how to set the yum-updatesd service to do the equivalent automatically (once per hour, I think). Since then, I've

Hi, I've just startted configuring yum-updatesd on all our servers to install updates automatically and it works great. But I don't see anywhere in its config or command line options a way to find which package version was replaced by which. Is this achieveable in any way or should I resort to some home-grown scripting again? Thanks. -Amos

I've read that it's not recommended to automatically apply updates via yum-updated on production servers, but I keep encountering servers that have this enabled. Are any of you doing automatic yum updates on production servers in CentOS 5 via yum-updatesd? Have you experienced any negative side effects? The only thing I can think of is if say a client had a custom version of PHP

I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple x86_64, some real, some virtual. On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them: [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 14400 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send

Just got this message after an autoupdate on my 5.x system.. should I be worried? Hi, This is the automatic update system on mail.<xxx>.com. There was a problem updating the system.

Hello, we have enabled yum-updatesd on our dozen real and virtual machines running CentOS 5.2 some time ago and are very satisfied: afarber at ablsw01:~> grep -v ^# /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] run_interval = 7200 updaterefresh = 1200 emit_via = email dbus_listener = no do_update = yes do_download = yes do_download_deps = yes (it would be good to make it use the proxy though...)

Hi all, I upgrade my rsync from 2.3.1 to 2.6.6 today in the client host, everything seems not working after the migration. I didn't touch the rsync server. Herewith is the log from my rsync server. I looks like something related to IPV6, anyone has any idea? Rsync Server : RHEL4 with rsync 2.6.3 deamon running Rsync Client (merlin) : Solaris 8 with rsync 2.6.6 2006/05/09 16:18:40 [5332]

Hi listees! Just installed C6 (more or less) permanently on my eeepc. I've enabled rpmfusion non-free, rpmfusion free, elrepo, and epel, prior to this point I've been running fedora on it (f10 thru f14) and have always found VLC at rpmfusion. (but finally RHEL/Centos have become modern enough to support the eeepc's funky hardware, so I'm switching back--tired of the version

Running "yum update", yum appears to perform fine and appears to finish but continues to reside in memory: ... Updating : lftp 2/4 Cleanup : lftp 3/4 Cleanup : freetype 4/4 Updated: freetype.i386 0:2.2.1-25.el5_5 lftp.i386 0:3.7.11-4.el5_5.3

When attempting to perform autoupdate after my 'autogen.sh' broke, it says that there is missing a file called: dovecot/core/doc/wiki/Makefile.am But in the Github repository, there is a misnamed file named "Makefile.am.in". I think this file is misnamed and should be renamed to "Makefile.am". https://github.com/dovecot/core/tree/master/doc/wiki

At one of our sites we have most outgoing ports blocked and everyone going through squid for web access. But it seems Windows autoupdate doesn't pick up the local users proxy settings so we ended up opening port 80 to some of the windows update servers. While searching around I found and option called custom-proxy-server but I don't see that setting in the man pages. Anyone have

Is there a way to remove all packages from a certain repository such as RPMFORGE?

CentOS 5.3 New updates available used to be flagged in the (Gnome) desktop notification area, but I don't get them any longer. What could be the problem? yum-updatesd is set up with the default configuration (dbus), and on the machines I changed the notification to email, I do indeed receive these emails.

Thank you for replying to me. As you recommended, I modified configure.ac in autoconf folder. But I’m not sure about how to regenerate configure. Sorry… I tried to follow the way introduced in README.TXT in the autoconf folder. It asks me to run autoupdate on all the m4 and configure.ac. And then it asks me to regenerate configure script with AutoRegen.sh. However, when I did that, I got an error

My AD server is Win2003. And my linux server is ubuntu. Samba version is 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.12 and 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7. They are join into the Win2003 AD as normal smb servers (not DC).
