What I have to do with one a particular business is use yum excludes. I
take and exclude all the RPMs that are dependancies for one specific
application. I have really no choice in the matter of doing so although
I do know there are security risks in do so. My problem is I can't have
the machines os breaking the app. Then in turn when that happens I have
to explain why. CEOs are money hungry people that want 24/7 uptime and
do not care how. In the end I have to do what I am told by the CEO or
have no job. I know the importance of them, but telling upper management
is a whole-nother story.
I did miss the dhcrelay didnot see that, I apologize for that. It should
not have broken.
