What I do is leave the service on and change the cron job to do a yum list
to inform people of updates so they are aware of them being there. I also
leave a exclude line for kernels commented out in the yum.conf that I ship
for campus.
Yes, seth will say this doesn't scale and he's right, luckily I don't get
root's mail for all of the linux boxes on campus :)
