Its a package in CentOS-base but not RHEL?
Yes:
[root@dhcp-200 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
[root@dhcp-200 ~]# yum list yum* | grep cron
[root@dhcp-200 ~]#
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/centos/5.0/os/x86_64/CentOS/...
One of course could argue "If CentOS wants to be 100% compatible to RHEL
then they should not add something to their Base OS that's not strictly
needed" -- but I suppose some people would send out the Nijas after
someone that dares to say that.
