Sorry for the low level questions but I have two point which I need to
better understand:
SO : SCIENTIFIC LINUX 5.5
a) yum
In /etc/cron yum.cron correspond to the orginal.yum.cron
so some autoupdates are enabled
in yum.excludes are defined the packages which are not updatet
in mine
a.) yes if you list kernel* in your excludes list it should not update any
package starting with kernel
b.) /var/log/maillog should have some information about any messages you
attempt to send. There could be, literally, 100s of reasons it didn't work.
