Due to poor memory management by the Yum API, the long-lived
bcfg2-server process uses an external short-lived helper,
``bcfg2-yum-helper``, to do the actual Yum API calls for native yum
-library support. By default, Bcfg2 looks for this helper at
-``/usr/sbin/bcfg2-yum-helper``. If you have installed the helper
-elsewhere, you will need to configure that location with the
-``helper`` option in the ``[yum]`` section, e.g.::
+library support. By default, Bcfg2 looks for this helper in
+``$PATH``, or, failing that, at ``/usr/sbin/bcfg2-yum-helper``. If
