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...)

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.

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

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

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron? I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and

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

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

Hi, On CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18-92) the yum security plugin seem to not working. If I try "yum update --security" nothing is done. Is there something to configure ? All the following packages are installed on my system. yum.noarch 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 installed yum-aliases.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed

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

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.

I am about to set up a computer with Centos 6 that I'll probably never see again. I don't want to give out the root password, but I would like to have it automatically and transparently update itself. What is the best way to do this? I have been looking at webpages about yum-cron and yum-updatesd but nothing directly addresses Centos 6 and it appears that at least one of those two

I am experiencing a problem with yum on one of my CentOS-5.5 systems. Specifically, on Friday past (July 16), I ran yum update as root. Yum displayed all of the outdated packages and asked if I wanted to proceed. An answered yes. This first package downloaded was nss. At this point yum simply stopped processing or responding. A ctrl-c at the yum session terminal window did not interrupt the

This is perplexing. on a Centos 5.1 box that I am trying to upgrade, I keep getting: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> from my local repo. I did a blank system install via http from this server with no problem. For instance, if I limit myself to: yum upgrade yum I get: Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up

Hello All! I''ve been running Rails 2.0.2 with Ruby 1.8.6 for the last six months. I developed an application that runs fine on two different servers -- or at least, it used to. I used Mongrel as a development server, but requirements called for using Apache for a production deployment. I found Phusion Passenger (mod_rails) and decided to give it a try. I decided to update my rubygems

After the upgrade to CentOS 5.9, all my CentOS 5 installations report only "Unmatched Entries" in the "yum" section of their daily logwatch mails. It seems the filter script /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/yum got broken: --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8< [root at dns01 ~]# /usr/sbin/logwatch --print --service yum
