Hello.
Cannot prevent rc-local.service to start
systemctl stop rc-local.service
systemctl disable rc-local.service
After reboot, rc-local.service start again.
After removing file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service
systemctl status rc-local.service
Unit rc-local.service could not be found.
The file /etc/init.d/boot.local is still called.
/etc/init.d/boot.local
PARENT_COMMAND=$(ps -o args= $PPID)
logger "CALLER : $PARENT_COMMAND"
journalctl -a -b --no-pager --no-tail -f show :
août 17 16:49:44 localhost JCD_BACKUP_SYS_ETC_INIT-D_BOOT.LOCAL[414]: hB - /etc/init.d/boot.local - CALLER : /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --switched-root --system --deserialize 24 - CUR_USER : root - CUR_ID : 0
Any help is welcome
Hi
You need to stop, disable and then mask the service 
systemctl mask rc-local.service
Remove /etc/init.d/boot.local
systemctl disable rc-local.service
It does nothing - there is nothing to disable.
After removing file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service
systemctl status rc-local.service
Unit rc-local.service could not be found.
The file /etc/init.d/boot.local is still called.
/etc/init.d/boot.local
PARENT_COMMAND=$(ps -o args= $PPID)
logger “CALLER : $PARENT_COMMAND”
If you want to see which service unit calls this file, print cgroups to which this process belongs.

This is what /usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service says:
# This unit gets pulled automatically into multi-user.target by
# systemd-rc-local-generator if /etc/init.d/boot.local is executable.
So remove the execute permission bits.
Or maybe even remove the whole of /etc/init.d/boot.local . I do not have such a file.
And of course, masking is also not bad.
