It's not notifications I have problems with. I've never managed to get yum-updatesd to do anything at all, either on Fedora Core 6 or Fedora 7, on nearly a dozen different machines. It starts up happily and logs no problems, but it never downloads or installs any packages.
Running yum manually, or out of cron, works just fine, so there's no problem with my yum config.
Get the yum-updatesd from Fedora 8 test version. It will work to do the auto downloads. I'm using it.
$ rpm -q yum-updatesd yum-updatesd-0.4-1.fc8
Assuming you turn on the auto updates in the config file. By default, it does not install things.
Believe me, this will work. I was one of the complainers here about yum-updatesd for quite a while
