systemctl (again)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been trying to get the timidity system running as a daemon.

I _think_ that what is happening is that systemctl is stripping off the switch. I've spent a couple of hours searching for any links or explanation and got nowhere. I even knocked up a script to try and separate the two parts: #!/bin/sh cd /etc/init.d ./timidity start but to no avail. If there is a simple fix could someone point me there, if it's complex don't bother, I only need the daemon when running MIDI and can start it by hand. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVHa+rAAoJEAF3yXsqtyBlKFUP/0olzOxF44xGa0/b1UI9LyKb 8LWLJ6XYXQfwJZvZ7N5v/r9g6WPesIuWf/TugXEz20MhrN0BhoqmUrkD9FjVnpFa B7zQxRQ/DUXs2Z/w2DCfHRs5QWr3o31EGNPw/cZtqMf2bq+Z0LXXlU6A4QozDFe8 Aq/ZYduOr5GG6D8DPRCSV2ggFGvs27I7vvp48bvCNZ4jh2dAjBSlygI42Koug2Ga UcAGllj4Litdm+O5hUpyPtsJC58umfNy4Lq9Y6HBxIpeZrioxNE+trNQHoZuzoP/ clLItDMwj990Hs7ft3eyt1oIihuCTsVQ3HOkn0fjZ0OAWPIudq7ZynzfHctMGtP2 Htx0A3coYxFFZ/fZZfYUkM4FQU6OA6fQ378u9hdxq9+XKayCh4938PZHmKjGHUTH DSu+iZVJ8DEc62pfgeLUWMidEgSu5/n5ROGIHed/wwt4nE6rGv/fz0D33ArMwD3t Ozybkt+FW2u8XK4qkA/ehgf3SBK4AIHMNg9IDWiWSaF4krQlInhKHGoCp1Xi1ISV 2C/Lb7exn2CX/Uohdhqy86HNOhHHbZ6mkOL1k8XTIIazjRWJWQ/+gkt6Bj39q+K8 NDnN03oVYsXgVz2nqFT3eQ001k/pRlkKn11ZYtEZ1fY77nzsOj+J3DD/txn8qTRi yNSvbWmxPj24hEVzSKu3 =CEIq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I am not at all on-board with the "evil empire" takeover interpretation of recent events. I do not believe this to be the case. However, the golden rule holds that whoever pays the gold makes the rules. I do not think this situation will prove any different in the long run. When a "volunteer" board becomes dominated by a single commercial entity who pays employees to "volunteer" the long-term results are decisions that tend to favour that entity over all members. I have seen this happen first hand and our firm no long belongs to that particular national organisation in consequence. This is an interesting situation from a philosophical POV though. What are the ethics of attempting to monetize the intellectual property of others? What are the ethics of attempting to make use of the benefits that arise from that monetizing effort without paying for them? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

As a CentOs newbie, I'm not sure, will we still have CentOS 7.1 which derive from RHEL 7.1? or this is the new naming conversion for CentOS 7.

Iptables config removed with 7.1 update
by Paul R. Ganci 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

I had turned off firewalld and was using iptables when I originally installed CentOS 7.0. Two days ago I upgraded my CentOS 7.0 to 7.1. Everything seemed to be fine. Today I discovered that my iptables configuration was removed with the update. Has anyone else experienced this on doing upgrade? Literally the /etc/sysconfig/iptables is gone and the /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config is the blank template that comes with the distribution. This seems to me to be a serious bug with the upgrade. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com) (303)257-5208

unsetting/erasing an iptables mark
by Boris Epstein 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Hello all, iptables provides a way to mark/tag packets for future identification/accounting, etc. A brief discussion of it is offered here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_traffic_control Here is a more detailed description of the issue I am working on: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2015-April/151245.html Getting to the crux of the issue as it stands now. I need to get rid of the mark on the packets after they have been processed by tc and sent on. That can be done by a VM down the line, too. Basic logic of the process should be: "anything that comes with a mark, erase that mark, send it on". Effectively, going off this syntax: iptables -A FORWARD -t mangle -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 6 I would need to be able to come up with something like --erase-mark or functional equivalent thereof. Any suggestions much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.
