Description David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2017-09-20 12:50:16 UTC

Hello! :)

Description of problem:

Previously, the initscripts package was using symlinks to automatically "register" services that should be started when system boots up.

Nowadays, that should be managed by your package, via (if I'm not mistaken):
/usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default.preset

We have fixed the initscripts to no longer use symlinks for these services:
https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/pull/128

Please, enable these services by default:
* brandbot.path
* rhel-autorelabel.service
* rhel-autorelable-mark.service
* rhel-configure.service
* rhel-dmesg.service
* rhel-import-state.service
* rhel-loadmodules.service
* rhel-readonly.service

More info:
These services were enabled by default by initscripts in previous versions of RHEL-7. In order to keep the OS stable for our customers, we want these services to still remain enabled, unless decided otherwise in some other BZ/process.

Short description of each service:
* brandbot - Enables flexible Red Hat branding for RHEL
* rhel-autorelabel - Relabels all filesystems if requested
* rhel-autorelable-mark - Marks the need to relabel after reboot
* rhel-configure - Reconfigures the system if requested
* rhel-dmesg - Dumps the dmesg into /var/log/dmesg
* rhel-domainname - Reads & set the NIS domain name (from /etc/sysconfig/network)
* rhel-import-state - Imports network configuration from initramfs
* rhel-loadmodules - Loads legacy modules' configuration
* rhel-readonly - Configures the read-only root support

Thank you! :)

This list is missing one more service:

I have described it in the comment #0:
* rhel-domainname - Reads & set the NIS domain name (from /etc/sysconfig/network)

Comment 10 Peter Kotvan 2017-12-05 06:57:34 UTC

Hi, rhel-domainname.service is still disabled on RHEL-7.5-20171130.0 with redhat-release-server-7.5-3.el7. The other services are enabled and started as expected.

From the redhat-release-7.5-0.14.el7 package I can see this in 90-default.preset:
# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1493545
enable rhel-autorelabel.service
enable rhel-autorelable-mark.service
enable rhel-configure.service
enable rhel-dmesg.service
enable rhel-import-state.service
enable rhel-loadmodules.service
enable rhel-readonly.service

Indeed the rhel-domainname.service is missing here... Seems like my comment #2 was missed.

Comment 12 Lubos Kocman 2017-12-05 12:11:47 UTC

This could have been dropped with the rollback from redhat-release -> redhat-release-server.

I'll check it
