Description

System daemons, and openib in particular, do not default to enabled when installed. For normal systems and typical network services, this represents a security risk. For openibd in particular, defaulting the openibd service to on loads kernel modules that system administrators don't want loaded by default. This particularly problematic on systems that do an "Everything" install. The openibd script was defaulted to remain off until enabled by the system administrator due to complaints from users. I would recommend that the installation method on cluster machines include the following in the kickstart %post section (or similar post install configuration method if you aren't using kickstart): /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 openibd on /sbin/service openibd start Closing this out as NOTABUG. |
