As a general rule, simply installing an RPM should *never* autostart a daemon. There are some exceptions, for daemons without which your system won't function at all, but I strongly doubt that conman qualifies. The lack of assurance that the daemon is properly configured is only one of the reasons why this is a bad idea. Don't do it, and don't give your customer the idea that anyone at Red Hat sanctions it. regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
