* One effect of this is that users who had configured custom sets of services to start in runlevel 2 or 4 will need to configure a new custom target.  Quickstart on creating a new target is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SysVinit_to_Systemd_Cheatsheet#Runlevels.2Ftargets#Runlevels.2Ftargets  Might want to ask Lennart if there's a systemd man page/documentation online that's better to point people to.
== Scheduled Tasks ==
* The [[SysVinit to Systemd Cheatsheet]] has some useful equivalents for system administrators making the transition.
Fedora uses `chronie` for execution of scheduled tasks using the `chrond` service.  Packages may drop files into '''/etc/cron.d/''' to add a task, or a user can add a task using the `crontab` utility.


== Administrator users ==
To learn about using cron jobs, refer to:
 
Fedora 15 introduces the concept of an administrator group. Users who are in this group are able to:
* `man 1 crontab`
 
* `man 5 crontab`
* sudo, using their password
* `man 8 cron`
* authorize for various administrative tasks using PolicyKit with their own password
* `man 8 crond`
* authorize for various administrative tools using usermod with their own password
* https://docs.fedoraproject.org/sysadmin-guide
 
This is implemented via the 'wheel' group. Users can be added to the administrative group in the GNOME User Accounts panel, or in firstboot.
 
== Bacula ==
Bacula director and storage daemons are now running as bacula user by default. Director's log file has moved to /var/log/bacula directory.
 
Default user can be changed in /etc/sysconfig/bacula-* files.
 
When upgrading please make sure that bacula has permissions to access configuration files, log files and database.

BIND 9.10

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) has been updated to version 9.10. This version adds IPv6 listening by default. It also unifies external and internal libraries so that external applications can use the same libraries as BIND daemons. The version 3 XML schema, which provides faster parsing, is no longer optional.

Scheduled Tasks

Fedora uses chronie for execution of scheduled tasks using the chrond service. Packages may drop files into /etc/cron.d/ to add a task, or a user can add a task using the crontab utility.

To learn about using cron jobs, refer to:
