I'm managing a couple of servers for core services (NTP, DNS, etc) and it just occured to me that one of the servers seems to keep the 3 latest kernels, instead of 2 on the others :

All servers are maintained identically, don't know what I could have done, must be a parameter somewhere but can't find it!
Please feed my curiosity! Thank you
