Problems with firstboot in CentOS 5
by Alfred von Campe 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

I'm trying to customize the firstboot process in CentOS 5 and have come across a few issues that are driving me nuts. I'm sure they are all upstream issues, but I don't have a RHEL 5 system to verify them. I had these customizations working in CentOS 4, but things that used to work then don't work now. The main problem is that you can't validate user input. This problem can be easily seen in the firstboot "Create User" module. If you are in this screen, deliberately enter … [View More]

Compared to some tech lists I subscribe too this one is pretty much always on the topic of some aspect of using CentOS effective and efficiently. If some people really have problems with the degree of latitude extended to subjects here then perhaps an appropriate solution is to set up a list called centos-strict and allow those that have strong feelings on the matter of appropriateness, whatever that turns out to mean, to subscribe there. Once a day a digest of the centos-strict list could be posted to this list, in a fashion similar to that done for CentOS announcements. So that topics of interest discussed there would still reach a wider audience. The existing centos list is pretty much established as the first port of call for a new contributor. It seems to me counter-productive to create a new list to serve that purpose and then force new people to resubscribe to a different list, doubtless after receiving abuse from self-appointed moral managers for posting the wrong subjects here. As a case in point, what does the creation of new mailing lists have to do with CentOS, exactly? What is deemed appropriate and on topic is really more a matter of taste than anything else. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
