When I use this command:



root:~# systemctl


Output is:



System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate


This problem occurred in "Kali Linux" and "Debian 9"
How can I resolve this problem?

    That means that the system is running with sysvinit rather than systemd. What are you trying to do? I.e., what do you need to use systemctl for?

  • @StephenKitt I would like to start any package with systemctl, like: systectl openvas start

To start and stop services without having to worry about which init system is in use, you should use service:



service openvas start


will use whatever command is appropriate to start the openvas service.

  • That means that there is no openvas service (no /etc/init.d/openvas in your case). Is there?

  • Unfortunately it’s not as simple as that, you can’t turn a program into a service by linking it in /etc/init.d. You need to write (or find) an init script for OpenVAS, or a systemd unit (and switch to systemd).

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
