Services to be enabled by default in preset file none

Description Petr Lautrbach 2012-08-28 12:01:40 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #850249 +++

Fedora 18 changes the way how to work with services in spec files. It introduces new macros - %systemd_post, %systemd_preun and %systemd_postun; which replace scriptlets from Fedora 17 and older (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850016).


https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default :

    avahi
    coda-client

Comment 1 Václav Pavlín 2012-08-29 14:31:54 UTC 
There are more packages that need to be added to presets file. We know about this. We will collect them and add them at once.
Comment 2 Marcela Mašláňová 2012-09-07 12:06:46 UTC 
Do you think it's wise to wait? I already fixed the cron daemon and push it into F-18 testing. When do you want to change the default preset? It could happen that only gdm/kdm will be enabled after the installation.

I wonder if we shouldn't push all changes in one update with changes into default.preset.
Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2012-09-12 03:26:08 UTC 
In git I have now added entries for:

# System stuff
enable sshd.service
enable atd.service
enable crond.service
enable rpcbind.*
enable rsyslog.*
enable NetworkManager.service
enable avahi-daemon.*

# Desktop stuff
enable accounts-daemon.service
enable rtkit-daemon.service
enable upower.service
enable gdm.service
enable udisks2.service
enable polkit.service

# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850814
enable arp-ethers.service

# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855372
enable mdmonitor.service
enable mdmonitor-takeover.service

That means from the list Petr posted we still miss:

    autofs
    coda-client
    firewalld
    ifplugd
    iscsi-initiator-utils
    isdn4k-utils
    nfs-utils
    ocfs2-tools
    rp-pppoe
    sysklogd
    xinetd

I think it would be safe adding these too to the list, even thought they are not using the macros yet. However, for that I'd need to know their unit names.
Comment 4 Karel Zak 2012-09-12 10:06:14 UTC 
Please, add also uuidd to the list of by default enabled services. Thanks.

Services to be enabled by default in preset file

I went through the packages that use systemd services and have created this preset file.

It contains all packages where systemctl enable or chkconfig --add is called.

It does not contain ocfs2-tools because wrt. git it is dead package.

I hope this will at least help to filter all services suitable for default preset file.
Comment 6 Lennart Poettering 2012-09-12 23:08:46 UTC 
Ah, thanks Vaclav!

I have now added many from your list to the preset file. But I didn't add all of them since I am quite sure some of them are network facing or require manual configuration and probably don't make sense to be enabled by default or are incompatible with the current policy. For those I'd really prefer if the respective maintainers would file individual bugs.

Examples for the ones I didn't add: pppoe-server.service or nginx.service. I am pretty sure these two are perfect examples of services that should not be enabled by default...

Karel, uidd is added now.

I will close this bug now and hope that maintainers who miss their units in the list will file appropriate bugs.

(In reply to comment #5)
> It contains all packages where systemctl enable or chkconfig --add is called.

"chkconfig --add" doesn't enable a service, it just add the service to the rc.d structure so the list contains several services which shouldn't be enabled by default like cyrus-imapd, dmapd, exim, ...

Please recheck the list against [1] and fix it.

Comment 8 Petr Lautrbach 2012-09-13 09:19:20 UTC 
I haven't check a list which was pushed to git which is already filtered, sorry for the noise.

Comment 10 Lennart Poettering 2012-09-13 09:29:52 UTC 
BTW, I filled this bug:

https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/950

In order to get the "starting services by default" list cleaned up a bit.
