[thelist] How to keep yum from killing my box with autoupdate

Hey all:

Last night Yum killed one of our production servers.  Apparently, it updated
to a new version of apache (chkconfig yum on was set) and didn't update the
ssl dependencies.  This made it so the httpd.conf file was invalid, and
won't restart.

Now the box won't start, and I'm kind of out of ideas.  I'm going to have to
struggle through to see if I can get the packages happy again.

Anyone know how to avoid this?  This is lame. ;-)

Jonathan
