It's in the /etc/yum.conf file, as the "gpgcheck" option under each
"[server]" section.  For example, I have:

    [base]
    name= Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch  - Base
    baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever
    gpgcheck=1

to force GPG checks on the base system.
