FreeIPA 2.0 will be pushing more auditing tasks, but don't forget that now that FreeIPA has hit 1.0, RedHat is/has released RedHat Enterprise IPA. https://www.redhat.com/promo/ipa/ In fact there is a webinar tomorrow about it. > Easier monitoring setup.

To many companies use to many different solutions for everything they have in place. Nagios is available in EPEL. Although, IMHO, Zabbix is much easier to install, use, add custom monitoring, and is available in EPEL. Zabbix hasn't gained the traction of those you suggested, but has been gaining momentum. Although I would like to throw my hat in the ring for a nice "hardened" install (see also minimal server install). Seriously, I realize they are in redhat-lsb, but if I go to install a server I don't need bluez, avahi, or cups installed; or at least they shouldn't be running! Maybe have lsb-desktop and lsb-server ?? Although thats a big linux community push. I've used RH for over a decade, have my RHCE, and despite having played with ubuntu for my non-rhel servers (because I have some weird issue w/ not liking centos... strictly an emotional/mental block). I love RH. I also love that Debian/Ubuntu come with NO OPEN PORTS at install. (their firewall setup is stupid tho). -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
