Hmmm ... so the corollary to that argument is that NM will force named to be started at boot, and not allow it to be shut down, regardless of the local sysadmin's wishes. That doesn't sound like a recipe for winning friends either --- *especially* not if NM thinks it should have any say over named's configuration. This looks like a train wreck in progress to me. regards, tom lane -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
