After reading http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/three-levels-of-off I disagree that disabling in SysV is the same as masking in systemd, though I guess it depends on the meaning of disable. According to that page chkconfig off <service> is equivalent to systemctl disable <service>.service, which is what we do now AFAIR. Why do you need to mask a service, e.g. render it completely unstartable? rob _______________________________________________ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
