yum cron job error

[jim martin]

Hi.. Does it mean the yum is automatically access those update site to auto update the FC box?  I
did not yum update manually.  But I did type "yum update all" long time ago, will it keep auto
updating from time to time?  If yes,  how to check whether it it auto updating ?  If yes, how to
disable it ?
