Hi Chris,
The nightly autoyum script creates /tmp/yum.conf.errata each time is is 
run.  This is so it can put in it's excludes, as well make sure there 
aren't any dangerous settings in the default yum.conf (which is 
/etc/yum.conf)
I originally cleaned this /tmp/yum.conf.errata file up.  But I have 
found that it often good for debugging.  Since it removes the file 
before it is is remade, it shouldn't do any harm sitting there.
Troy
