Other noteworthy changes include an updated Cockpit web console with an improved performance metrics page to better identify causes of high CPU, memory, disk, and network resource usage spikes, the mptcpd or MultiPath TCP daemon instead of iproute2 to configure MultiPath TCP endpoints, and support for key files in NetworkManager to store new connection profiles. Security-wise, Rocky Linux 9 series disables root user authentication with a password over SSH by default to prevent attackers from gaining access using brute-force password attacks, and OpenSSL 3.0 support. The Rocky Linux devs announced today the general availability of the long-anticipated Rocky Linux 9 operating system as a drop-in replacement for CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream.īased on the freely distributed sources of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 operating system series, Rocky Linux 9 is here with GNOME 40 as the default desktop environment, support for Direct Access (DAX) operations in XFS for direct access to byte-addressable persistent memory, as well as the “eager write” mount option in NFS to help reduce latency.
