perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Uhl, George D. (GSFC-423.0)[SGT INC]" <>]

Hi Ivan,

I was interested in knowing if I could customize the update process.  IMO,
having that capability is a plus simply because then I could prevent
unwanted modifications to my pS config prior to the upgrade rather than
finding out after the fact.  For iptables I can implement a post-update
restore.

Thanks,
George
