What I have to do with one a particular business is use yum excludes. I take and exclude all the RPMs that are dependancies for one specific application. I have really no choice in the matter of doing so although I do know there are security risks in do so. My problem is I can't have the machines os breaking the app. Then in turn when that happens I have to explain why. CEOs are money hungry people that want 24/7 uptime and do not care how. In the end I have to do what I am told by the CEO or have no job. I know the importance of them, but telling upper management is a whole-nother story. I did miss the dhcrelay didnot see that, I apologize for that. It should not have broken. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
