Excellent!

[aking99]

Anyone got a test plan for using this yet?

[cpjitservices]

I've already been playing with it.. I had a test server running 6.5, I fresh installed 7... Seems a few of the packages I usually use like 'rdekstop' and 'xrdp' have been removed completely and have been replaced by 'freedesktop'. I dont want freedesktop so I'll stick with 6.5 until the repos have been updated to include some of the packages.

[aking99]

Have you tested any services, radius etc? I'll need to test through the applications that are dependent on LDAP accounts and see if these can run on centos 7, centos 6 was a battle for some things for the first 6 months ish, so I'm not looking forward to it

[cpjitservices]

Nope only services i tried where XRDP... got it working in the end but it was easier on 6.5

[aking99]

Well, I built a squid proxy server on Centos 7 yesterday, the process seemed to be almost identical to 6x. However, for some reason unless the squid config said transparent in the http_port line that port wasn't accessible outside of that machine (no firewall or selinux on)

 

General notes:

I installed from the minimal iso

It is worth adding yum install net-tools iptables-services to be able to use ifconfig and systemctl stop|start|disable iptables

Has anyone managed to get AD auth working on it yet? I'll have a play, hoping to replace TMG with a CentOS box

[aking99]

Not tried although it should be the same few files as Centos6.

Yes AD and LDAP auth works great... just as it did in 5 & 6
