Just trying to get some info on the yum-updatesd process as I audit some of our RHEL5 systems and processes running on them. From what I can tell, it runs to alert to the various updates that are available. But we also have the rhnsd process running which is talking to a local satellite server. The Sat. server already emails me the daily status reports, as well as lists system updates outstanding. So I assume that the yum-updatesd process in this case is redundant because I'm not allowing any auto updating to happen on our systems.

Am I overlooking anything, and will I lose any unforeseen functionality if I disable it?

Thanks!

P.S. On an unrelated note, does anyone know of a good searchable archive for the RHEL mailing lists? The mailman archives at redhat aren't really searchable, and the main RH site search appears to include list results, but I'm not sure it's very accurate.
