Wow this must be an old server. pam_tally was replaced with faillock in RHEL 6.

Oh look I just found this posted here already /sigh..

So many questions I could have not asked of @stacksofplates, had I recalled this thread.

I honestly forgot I posted that.

@nadnerb ElementaryOS is nice but you might not like the idea of not able to save items to your Desktop. Deepin is pretty good too.

Just not on by default. You can enable it...

Kind of interesting, handy to have a simple way to get real RHEL, I guess.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

Just installed on CentOS 7.6 with XFS. Still flawless install.

talking about number of packages, this has always been my reference:

if a distro has it packaged it is quite sure they have anything 😛

both debian and suse have it.

We ran into this issue last week with several legacy applications we soon hope to commit to the bone yard...

I haven't read the article yet,... but would be nice if it is available on Windows -

However, that said. I can just set up a VM and run there.... I don't do a massive amount of managing Linux Servers, but sometimes it would be helpful..

Not even on most Linux yet.

Oops. 🙂

Just as a comparison, here's what it would look like with Ansible:

name: Recursively own html files file: path: /var/www/html owner: apache group: apache state: directory recurse: yes

@matteo-nunziati said in Anacron Jobs on a CentOS 7 Server:

@JaredBusch well never considered the workload on servers. I don't know how they manage it! maybe not so many use unattended upgraqdes in debian.

I definitely feel like Ubuntu users don't keep their systems as up to date 😉

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems.

Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

So that is where we are now. A missing package, unclear documentation and yum unable to resolve dependencies for some of the remaining packages. As the support community showed no interest in Kopano being used in production and actually got angry that we wanted to, we decided to halt here. But there is the documentation in case anyone runs into this and wants to pursue it further.

Planning to test this out soon.

Interesting: Fedora 25 starts to panic with RAM < 512MB at the beginning of the kernel init phase, even in text mode. Just had a look at the manual which clearly says that Fedora requires 1GB of RAM.

Looks like I'm out of luck and have to stick to Ubuntu / Debian.

Another thing to note is with RHEL/CentOS 7.3 they recommend a 1GB boot partition instead of 512MB.

Just an aside.

Should work as long as you keep an eye on it. Ubuntu for example likes to keep old kernel and initrd images there until you clean them up (e.g. apt autoclean etc)

Ya I usually keep 3 and remove the others but I think the images are getting big enough they needed to adjust the size. If you do anew install it defaults to 1GB.
