detail, the machine with centos is running 6.9, systemd was in V7+ i'll have to check that. systemd was i believe in the later versions of V6. I will check, it's been a hell of a year with many frustrations and my memory of V7 might be wrong, i'll be installing the latest centos later today so i'll check (i'll check before i install if possible). I do remember this change, unless the stress had me severely confused, which might have happened, it was bad enough that i had a massive heart attack and didn't even know that was the problem, it's something of a miracle that i'm still here (badly blocked arteries, and apparently i tried to get off the table!). Thankfully my heart has recovered completely, i'm a tough old bird.
