yum

I'm seeing some errors in my apache logs and they may (or may not) be related to some packages that I recently installed/removed using Yum.

Is there a way to view the history of Yum packages that have been updated/installed/removed ?

I could use the "history" command from unix, but some installations may have been done with different accounts. I've tried searching the web and reading the man page too but haven't found anything.
