Since I can't do that at boot, anyone want to offer some recommendations? I was considering just having root's shell skel files launch the script (then remove itself on success).

It looks like you could modify /etc/init.d/firstboot to point to your own set of python scripts to do custom config via firstboot -m I have not tried this, but it seems like it would work as a way to force something the first time the system is booted. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> Thanks, -darren _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list <a href="mailto:rhelv6-list@redhat.com">rhelv6-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list</a> </blockquote></div>
