Congrats on finding the offending service that kept tripping you. In my CentOS 6.2 setup (default server installation); hal daemon is "active" by default. I did *not* tinker with any of the services post installation. It begs the question why is it not enabled by default in 6.0? It reaffirms my point about avoiding the .0 version of software release that I made in an earlier post. For your production server, I would suggest upgrading to CentOS 6.2 or 6.3 if CentOS is what you want. Alternately, as Pavithran has suggested you could also look into Debian, the Debian users will vouch for it. I have even deployed it's "testing" release (kind of beta/release candidate) into production - in gateway devices. >From your email id, looks like you are from a research organization. BOSS Linux [1] has been developed by CDAC targeted for the government organizations. CDAC provides support via CDAC locations across pan India. I have no experience with it. However it is Debian based. [1] <http://bosslinux.in/support-centre> Best, -- Arun _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
