| schestowitz | Depending on the distro, IIRC, the location of the configs may vary. I tried: | May 16 16:13 |
| schestowitz | [root@techrights /]# find |grep nagios. | May 16 16:13 |
| schestowitz | Nothing that stood out. Maybe CentOS stores the Nagios configs elsewhere, the check which overrides changes to sudoers can probbaly be commented out. | May 16 16:14 |

| schestowitz | > Thank you for your response. Do you have a couple of time/date options you can give us? And, can you confirm which time zone you will be located in? We will then look into the UEFI Forum representative's availability. If you can think of any additional questions you might have, please don't hesitate to pass them along. | May 16 20:30 |

| schestowitz | > you think their goals are in reaching out to you? | May 16 20:35 |
| schestowitz | They want to try to prove that even UEFI critics have no case. But to me, technical aspects aside, the debate over freedom and choice in electronics will be the sole issue to focus on. A lot of freedom is squashed with technical progress as a pretext. | May 16 20:35 |

| schestowitz | Jamie Watson, a British ZDNet community (unpaid) blogger, was approached by UEFI for some schmoozing and PR. They may try to hammer with the 'features' drum, which I need to put aside to focus on matters of freedom. I saw how people try this strategy against RMS. | May 16 20:56 |
