Since CentOS is based on RHEL, the newest RHEL is RHEL 5, RHEL 5 is based on FC6, and this option wasn't enabled in Fedora until F11 (hey, I can chain logic :-) ), I'm not suprised it isn't enabled in CentOS. I believe CentOS tries to stay as close to RHEL as possible, so I wouldn't expect them to change this unless Red Hat does. I am kind of suprised that Red Hat doesn't have this enabled though; there is a bug request to have this changed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469753 Another bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497013 it is stated that this will not change for RHEL 5. Maybe this will change for RHEL 6 (since it is now enabled in F11). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
