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?

I don't install it to our servers and have not seen any loss of functionality or problems because of that.
