said by a Samba developer , this is priceless """ You have your opinion and I have mine and my opinion (for what it is worth) is that systemd is something that is looking for a problem that doesn't really exist and then fixing the problem in a totally insane way. If systemd was just another init system and was easy to change then I wouldn't mind, but it keeps gobbling up things that have nothing to do with an init system and is becoming extremely hard to remove. As far as I am concerned, this ends this conversation, you have my opinion and nothing will change it, so don't bother trying. """ completely agree, and more.... besides, people at Samba are very good and well seasoned coders. They haven't only managed to reverse-engineer a closed protocol and make an open source daemon which is massively used and works across all major operating systems. Some of them are also responsible for developing rsync, which is... well before it existed the world was different. I have massive respect for them and I'm not surprised someone among them has such an opinion of systemd. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
