Hi Tomas -

Both these things are done off daily cronjobs and don't have anything to
do with yum.  Have a look at what is in

/etc/cron.daily/

and you will see all kinds of things happening "behind your back".
Tripwire is a bit noisy for such events, perhaps you can configure it to
not report those particular files.  But your paranoia level seems to be
set just right in terms of wanting to know what changed and why!
