Re: differences bewteen SL5 and SL6
I suggest you at the upstream providers release notes, which is located here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/5.0_Release_Notes/index.html http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.0_Release_Notes/index.html On Dec 13, 2011, at 10:17 AM, Arnau Bria wrote: Hi all, we have some (testing) SL6 installations and we're seeing that some things have changed between SL5 and SL6. I've read http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/features/differences and found the yum.conf issue we faced, but now we've found that sendmail is not the default mail server, now it's postfix. So, I'm wondering if someone has some more detailed document about SL5/SL6 (or maybe this is RH5/RH6 related) differences. Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Arnau
Re: Is removing selinux a bad idea?
SELinux is just a couple of more of steps when configuring the system. Its a not a large deal once you figure out the basic command set. In fact, come of the steps configuring an app for SELinux is even outlined in the man pages and some of the application docs, (notably Samba). Worse case, you can use the audit file as well as the SELinux Troubleshooter utility to diagnose the issue. In most case, it is easy to resolve. - Rilindo On Oct 20, 2011, at 10:30 PM, Todd And Margo Chester wrote: Hi All, I have always found selinux a pain in the neck, and in past have just removed it to get my stuff working. Question: what are the ramifications of just removing selinux from SL 6.1? Is selinux worth the effort? Many thanks, -T
