Solved: PiaF Checks for Updates: Why?

[mijoe]

It would seem that my PiaF server checks for updates regardless of the setting in General which says No to checking for updates... or is it something else? I have observed my server talking with the following sites:
64.50.236.214 (mirror2.mirrors.tds.net)
208.68.208.49 (mirrors.serveraxis.net)
152.1.2.172 (linux00ss.linux.ncsu.edu)
129.21.171.98 (trevor.rc.rit.edu)
208.85.242.118 (mirror.san.fastserv.com)
69.9.32.245 (reflect.atlanticmetro.net)
155.101.3.219 (mirror.chpu.utah.edu)
64.198.92.179 (64-198-92-179.xwires.net)

Since I have told the server not to check automatically for updates, how come it is so chatty?

Thanks,

Joe

Well now that appears to be centos and I bet it has something to do with yum. This is not something that PIAF sets up I am afraid. All of our updates are manual only. Have a look to see what services are running.

Freepbx talks back and forth also. Think when you log in and see modules to be updated.....

I looked at several of the sites and they appear to be repos for various distros.

I wonder if that is some of the RSS feeds in Kennosoft?

The .edu addresses suggest this is probably related to some sort of check for Linux updates.

Thanks all, I'll shut off the yum service when not using it.

#!/bin/bash
pid=`pgrep yum`
echo $pid
kill $pid
