As a side note, if you want to disable it because you don't want a specific package updated, you might want to check out how to exclude certain packages from being bothered by yum - updates usually add bug fixes and security patches - so it might not be a good idea to disable that :)

For instance, due to some people wanting to use PINE and not ALPINE (for whatever reason), I have in one of my server's /etc/yum.conf under [main]:

	exclude= pine* alpine*
