Hello,

On Aug 19th I updated the OS packages on a SL4.5 server. Recently I
discovered that updating yum-conf had reactivated the nightly yum
updates that I had disabled. Evidence is in the postconfig script :

rpm -q --scripts yum-conf-45-2.SL
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/sbin/chkconfig --add yum
/sbin/chkconfig yum on
/sbin/service yum restart >> /dev/null
[...]

=> I consider this as potentially dangerous and I am raising the
    alarm signal...

I do not know if this is the same for other versions of SL.

JM
