RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
.`SCAP Security Guide` now correctly disables services With this update, the `SCAP Security Guide` (SSG) profiles correctly disable and mask services that should not be started. This guarantees that disabled services are not inadvertently started as a dependency of another service. Before this change, the SSG profiles such as the U.S. Government Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) profile only disabled the service. As a result, services disabled by an SSG profile cannot be started unless you unmask them first.

Description Steffen Froemer 2020-01-16 08:17:07 UTC
Description of problem:
The behavior of disabling services changed between RHEL-7.7 and RHEL-7.8. This should be mentioned somewhere (e.g. release notes)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest 

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL-7.8 beta with chosing C2S security profile directly inside anaconda (including nfs-utils, e.g.)
2. start nfs-server afterwards
3. 

Actual results:
Service can't be started

Expected results:
The requirement to unmask the services before possible to start should be notes in release notes, that this behavior changed. In C2S-profile of RHEL-7.7 the services were only disabled.
