Hi Sean,

I was able to recreate this as well. Looks like the yum-cron default is to have that set as “no” and we should flip it to yes. Feel free to do so manually for now if you haven’t already. We should have a new package in the next few days that flips that so other people don’t run into the same issue.

Thanks,

Andy

With my recent upgrade to PS4.0 and Centos 7, it seems like the automatic yum upgrades are not working.

I have enabled "Auto Updates" using the web browser toolkit, but it does not actually seem to change yum-cron's config

In /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf, it still has this:

[root@ps-bandwidth ~]# cat /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf | grep apply_updates

apply_updates = no

I don't see any other automatic yum updates scheduled, and /var/log/yum.log's last updates were applied the same day I installed the host.

Is there a bug in the Toolkit changing the apply_updates setting?

Cheers,

Sean
