I think we had enough of Systemd flaming last month. Please stop polluting my inbox and find an operating system compatible with your worldview. It is really tiresome to keep on hearing about it.

This should be easy to answer (I hope).? We routinely kickstart boxes to use for managing our customers RADIUS/DHCP configurations (along with other things).? We've had a C7 kickstart in place since I built one in May and are finally starting to roll it out for new installations.? But, I'm curious as to what ksdevice= actually does. With the C6 we routinely used ksdevice=eth0 since we

I know this is for CentOS stuff, but I'm at a loss on how to build a script that does what I need it to do.? It's probably really logically simple, I'm just not seeing it.? Hopefully someone will take pity on me and at least give me a big hint. I have a file with two columns 'email' and 'total' like this: me at example.com 20 me at example.com 40 you at domain.com

Hi all, I've got an issue with C6's dhcpd custom logging that I cannot figure out. Hopefully someone has an idea, or has seen a similar issue. We have dhcpd logging to /var/log/messages a custom header (DHCPUSER:) with MAC, IP and Circuit-ID. I'll not bore you with the guts, so here's the beginning of that line in dhcpd.conf: if exists agent.circuit-id { log (info,

I would wholeheartedly disagree. This IS something systemd specific. I have never seen init.d blow itself up over

I have a couple of in use C7 boxes that were built with ntsysv and chkconfig for some old packages that needed to start using init.d. (The person setting these up didn't know about systemd creating service files for older packages, so we're stuck with these as-is. Here's my problem: Error unpacking rpm package chkconfig-1.7.2-1.el7.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on

This might be a bit OT, but I've never had to do this before and what I've googled doesn't seem to be working. I have an ansible playbook that I'm working on that I want to run as a cronjob.? One task I'm having trouble with is where I have a text file with lines like: rd.pl "blah blah" rd.pl "blah blah blah" This text file has to be 'executed'

Hi, is there anything that speaks against putting a cyrus mail spool onto a btrfs subvolume?

To be honest, I'd not try a btrfs volume on a notebook SSD. I did that on a couple of systems and it corrupted pretty quickly. I'd stick with xfs/ext4 if you manage to get the drive working again. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com

This might be OT, but it is CentOS related.? I've been running Ansible on C7 for a handful of months now, and updated to 2.4 as soon as it was available. I've been building inventories by hand in that time (mostly due to the fact we had no actual documentation on the managed external customer servers). However, as we have a multiple VMware clusters, thought it might be time to tinker

We have a couple of CentOS 7 boxes that were built before I was hired to clean up the kickstart script used for C7 boxes. We had a couple of rpm packages that were pre-C7 that were used and setup the old SysV Init way using ntsysv and chkconfig on these boxes. (I finally fixed that in the newer scripts.) These are out in the field and I'm having to deal with them as they are. One thing
