I recently started a new job, getting information has been difficult and there is a bit of a turf war from the existing sysadmin, who is almost universally hated by the customer we both support. So, this is a touchy situation politically.
On the the issue. I have finally gotten access to the kickstart files that are used to install most of the systems. The one I am looking at right now is 1648 lines long, with about 1600 of them in the %post clause. I am of the opinion this is a bad idea, a kickstart shouldn't do much more than get a system up, running and able to talk to a configuration management system. Naturally, there is no configuration management system and systems are left as initially installed for years. So, I'm looking for references to best practices that I can take to my boss and other management on the preferred way of doing RHEL kickstarts and configuration management. Any suggestions? TAL? -- Matt It's not what I know that counts. It's what I can remember in time to use. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
