Ok. As a highly on- list-topic example of why distrust is called for...
Without referring to the systemd source code*, does anyone know what systemd=
uses to select between networking subsystems (i.e. NetworkManager, the new s=
tandard as of RHEL 7, vs /etc/ sysconfig/network-scripts/, etc.). NetworkMa=
nager is default but disableable and it magically falls back to network-scri=
pts dir, but the fallback is nearly undocumented and the selection behavior a=
ppears completely undocumented.
If by some chance you do know this, where did you come by that knowledge? H=
opefully with URLs.
(* don't bother telling me to read the source. I'm reading...)
If I cannot find credible documentation of this, as networking person as wel=
l as enterprise sysadmin, this is a Problem.)
