I see a message stating that the yum updater has been started at boot 
time:

Aug 27 23:58:21 coyote messagebus: messagebus startup succeeded
Aug 27 23:58:21 coyote yum:  succeeded
Aug 27 23:58:22 coyote bulldog: Bulldog Plus : Copyright (c) 2001, 
Belkin Components.
Aug 27 23:58:22 coyote bulldog: Starting upsd ...
Aug 27 23:58:23 coyote bulldog: done.

The time above are fscked, I crashed and my rtc is on grenwich time, 
and a script I use to reset the clocks at boot time had not yet been 
run at that point.


 BUT chkconfig --list yum gives this:
yum             0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

So call me puzzled.  And I have gotten email messages a couple of 
times from the middle of the night yum run.

An "ls -lR var/cache/yum | grep gimp" returns this:

and an rpm -qa|grep gimp gives this:
root at coyote yum]# rpm -qa|grep gimp
gimp-print-4.2.6-11

gimp-2.0.4-0.fc2.1

And I don't recall giving yum the ok to do that.  Not that I have it 
excluded mind you, so it could have and a crash ate the email.  This 
board is a POS and I'm currently negotiating a new one from the OEM  
vendor.
