FC8: Block Auto Updates Without GUI

My security software found that my small FC8 box
that has no GUI is automatically making ftp
connections with a mirror sight.  How can I
prevent that from happening?  For now, I have
blocked it with iptables, but I would like to
stop the attempts.

In case this the issue, here are the present
settings of yum-updatesd.conf :

  [main]
  run_interval = 3600
  updaterefresh = 600
  emit_via = dbus
  dbus_listener = yes
  do_update = no
  do_download = no
  do_download_deps = no

Please let me know if you would like to see
another configuration file.

Thanks for your help.

Mike.
