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.

Description Oliver Ilian 2023-02-01 14:38:51 UTC
Description of problem:
Since RHEl 9 the below warning message is showing up in journalctl:

systemd-rc-local-generator[637]: /etc/rc.d/rc.local is not marked executable, skipping.

This was not the case in RHEL 8 and my customer would like to not see the message in the logs, as this creates surprises and confusion with their internal customers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 9

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install RHEL 9 system
2. reboot the system
3. run `journalctl | grep rc.local`

Actual results:
warning message shows in journalctl 

Expected results:
no warning messages

Additional info:
The customer is not using rc.local and is not planing to use it.
