Forget that bug, it was a totally differnet machine and i don't want
this mixed up here, may be it was my fault, it doesn't matter.

You don't wanna hear the whole story, i can tell you... :)
>From my point of view, i wouldn't let do a productive machine such
an update unattended, that's why i switched it off (as i already said,
i didn't know, it was turned on). Neither yum nor I can presume the
impact. Not that i blame yum for it, i don't expect it can foresee
all complexities of any installed software.
i'd like to monitor every update in a downtime window (for productive
machines!), just to be save i don't run into trouble, when the box
is needed. I also wouldn't do any "dist-upgrade" in debian or install
service Packs on windows (forgive me _that_ analogy...)
without watching it.
For my own curiosity, i'd like to know the reason, why it took
almost 3 weeks before the updates hit the machine. The Base Repository
gets its mirrorlist from "mirrorlist.centos.org". I can post it, if you
want. What might be interesting is the fact, that there is also the
"dag" repository (http://dag.wieers.com) enabled, where the nagios-nrpe
package comes from.
For the dhcrelay issue: The update brought dhcp.x86_64 7:3.0.1-62.EL4
and in the messages i have an entry with succeeded TERM signal
Oct 2 04:14:02 trainer dhcrelay: dhcrelay -TERM succeeded
shouldn't it get -HUP Signal or completely restarted?

Lutz
