Nightly linux updates, ie yum-cron, doesn't work. I run CentOS 5.
Is everything set up properly? Check the following
- # chkconfig --list|grep yum-cron
- # /etc/init.d/yum-cron restart
- # chkconfig --list|grep sendmail
- # chkconfig sendmail on
- # /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
- # vi /etc/hosts.allow
- Make sure these two lines are present in hosts.allow;
- ALL: 127.0.0.1
- sendmail: localhost
If it still fails, contakt the linux admin!
