Along with disabling the avahi service in my kickstart files, I also 
add NOZEROCONF=yes to /etc/sysconfig/network.  That way the service 
does not start and the 169.254.x.x IP doesn't get added to the 
interface.

It's not hard to do after the fact, but putting simple things like that 
in a kickstart file prevents one from doing all the mundane, mind 
numbing sys admin tasks.  :)

HTH,

Ranbir

[CentOS] Not installing avahi in a kickstart install

2013-03-03 Thread Robert Moskowitz
In the packages section of my kickstart I have:

-avahi

and I am still getting avahi and all of its rpms installed.  I don't 
want avahi on my servers, how do I specify in a kickstart to NOT install it?

 do not install packages which requires avahi?
 which they are?

 try yum remove avahi and see what it lists after install

The list is too long.  It includes firstboot!  Easier just to disable it 
after install as I have been doing.  Just thought I could prevent it 
from installing in the first place.  I can put a %post in to turn it off 
at least.

yes, that was my conclusion too. If you run a centos desktop (like I
do), it simply wants to remove the whole gnome ;-).

So we have cfengine stop the avahi-daemon service plus if the
avahi-daemon process is running for whatever reason it gets stopped.
