blog about dependency issues
client time before updaterpms
starting stuff before network
what sort of level of space is required by systemd journald logging (for desktop /var sizing)
(By default journald logs to /run/log. Have to mkdir /var/log/journal to keep data). Have enabled on one machine
identify default retention policyDefault retention is to use up to 10% of partition. Can use either space or time as a constraint on space. Logs are per user + system, so users can read their own data. Each log file starts at 8MB, so a popular machine will have lots of log data.
Blog about journald retention policy - and document how to set...
are we duplicating stuff in journald and /var/lcfg/log/syslog (if so, do we want to kill off /var/lcfg/log/syslog?)Yes we are.
Blog about decision to keep journald and /var/lcfg/log/syslog duplication.
check installroot stuff same version across SL6 and EL7
and pull out old SL5 stuff
Look at pam_systemd module - what does it do?
Complete dconf component and ship
kdm component has option to forcerestart even if someone is logged in (used for exam mode)
Look at what else we used kdm component for
setting and clearing ownership of /dev devices on login/logout (for devices in labs) - might be a better solution using udev rules?
enable/disable Xdmcp (never used?)
Set kdm theme (for background image etc)
enable/disable shutdown at login window (for podium machines)
Look at whether we need anything better than existing network component for desktops
Look at lightdm (and configuration) - and systemd configuration
