If I want to keep %base-services as is and just want to modify one of the extra services (openssh for example), how does an example look like? Questions like these. You think it's clear because the programming side is covered. Documentation includes the easy to understand user (I don't like the separation of btw) side. --=20 PGP and more: https://people.pragmatique.xyz/ng0/
