<quote>: "People are reluctant to say what they really think as they 
stand before an authority figure. A fear of disapproval and punishment 
from on high dampens the spirit. But online, in what feels like a peer 
relationship - with the appearances of "authority" minimized - people 
are much more willing to speak out or misbehave." <quote/>

No kidding. Why do you think people wind up in prison?? No fear of 
authority and breaking the rules, in the Real World. No diff. Me, I'd 
MUCH prefer that systemd threads be started from people using it and 
asking questions or posing Real World problems concerning the use of 
it's features. I haven't seen nary a one.

I am supposed to be using a "fence" to restart Proxmox cluster nodes 
when they fail and to trigger another mirrored node to become active to 
replace the failed one. Systemd claims it can restart/reboot if it 
detects failure. Anyone tried this yet?

I think I'll pose this one on user. Maybe we can get something useful 
happening. :) Ric
