Ugo, Haven't been on the list that long, so haven't reviewed the 3 year old history archives.

How are you guys now proceeding? I am kind of confused though, since current package versions don't seem to try to start the services mentioned (since they require a configuration step). That said, given some version information for the query, there is likely a way to cause the agents not to auto-start, upon package installation, through environment variables at the very least. Also, since a yum groupinstall command was cited and the packages aren't referenced that way, I suspect some other interactions may also be in play with the original post. Feel free to follow up with the versioning info, and I'll have a look at it, bryang _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
