To go on trashing the OS wholesale is just juvenile. I designed an infrastructure of 2500 servers that are all CentOS 6 and they are managed by only 3 people. This is a decent OS for medium to large scale rollouts, per my experience. I am trying to schedule time to begin evaluation of CentOS 7, (which will not be rolled out for at least a year) and if I decide that firewalld does not suit our purposes, then I will continue to use iptables. If I decide that firewalld does not provide any additional features, I will probably also continue to use iptables just to save some engineering time. Either way, my use of it is my own (and my company's) and no own should have to listen to me whine about it over and over. Pick whatever OS you want. You have that freedom. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
