While I empathize with your predicament, I generally prefer not to have expletives in my inbox. Also, what has this to do with markdown?

This is pretty much a retorical question, although I would like to know the extent of the problem and how quickly it's gonna be sorted. My problem has already been described in a previous post, i.e. clamd fails after a reboot. The cause apparently is that /run and therefore /var/run has at some point been moved onto tmpfs which means that it doesn't survive a reboot. The effect of

Commit a6330e9d3af0f5286f1d53d909fd868387b67f69 enabled /run for systemd-tmpfiles: while this works fine in most of the cases, there are few tmpfiles configurations that still references /var/run instead of /run. As result, include also /var/run in the systemd-tmpfiles execution. --- appliance/init | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/appliance/init

hey folks, we are migrating our tomcat setup over to centos 7. Im converting init-scripts over to systemd services and whatnot.. One thing that Ive noticed is that my systemd startup script cant seem to write to /var/run as a non-root user to drop a pidfile.. If I create a directory in /var/run owned by my user, it gets wiped out on reboot. Ive searched and found this

On Fedora 20, every time the kernel updates, /var/run/asterisk owner is set to root.root. I'm running asterisk under user asterisk. Is there any way to keep /var/run/asterisk as asterisk.asterisk. Or do I find a new place to put asterisk.pid? sean

Hello List, with CentOS 7.2 it is not longer possible to run fail2ban on a Server ? I install a new CentOS 7.2 and the EPEL directory yum install fail2ban I don't change anything only I create a jail.local to enable the Filters [sshd] enabled = true .... ..... When I start afterward fail2ban systemctl status fail2ban is clean But systemctl status firewalld is broken ? firewalld.service -

Hi, how can I prevent files/directories like /var/run/mariadb from being deleted on reboot? Lighttpd has the same problem. This breaks services and makes servers non-restartable by anyone else but the administrator who needs to re-create the needed files and directories every time and has to figure out what selinux labels they need. This causes unnecessary downtimes. This is entirely

Been working on fail2ban, and trying to make it work with plain Jane install of Centos 7 Machine is a HP running 2 Quad core Xeons, 16 gig or ram and 1 plus TB of disk space. Very generic and vanilla. Current available epel repo version is fail2ban-0.9.1 Looking at the log file, fail2ban starts and stops fine, there isn't output though showing any login attempts being restricted.
