The default setup does not automatically install updates. From the man page: yum-updatesd provides notification of updates which are available to be applied to your system. This notification can be done either via syslog, email or over dbus. Configuration is done via the yum-updatesd.conf(5) file. One way to use it is to have a client running on the desktop that pops up and tells you about updates. You then have the option of installing them. One program that does this is puplet. (I believe Gnome normally starts this when you log in.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
