Please also make sure this is entered into the OpenLDAP issue tracking system (http://www.openldap.org/its/). A patch is being worked on. The patch has been submitted as ITS 523 for OpenLDAP. Great. I applied the patch to the current SRPM recompiled and problem was solved. The latest CVS devel branch on openldap.org has it fixed as well. Thanks for submitting the ITS to openldap.org, I was waiting for my ISP to get my e-mail accounts working again...can't access my most used one because of mail server upgrades. Couple things I thought of in regards to running openldap as a regular user on RedHat: 1. group ldap should be created to allow reading but not writing to global configuration files in /etc/openldap and write access to ldap group only to /var/ lib/ldap in order to create/read/modify temp files there. 2. Currently several of the smaller servers which come with openldap handle their own logging and log to syslog facilities like local3.* local4.* etc....ones not normally configured by default on most RedHat and probably other machines. When I say small servers I'm refering to ones like in.xfngerd go500 mail500 etc...and others. Check out ITS #524. Anyway it would seem best to configure logging in all such applications using the ber_set_option(NULL, LBER_OPT_LOG_PRINT_FN, ...) function the maintainer mentions in the ITS plus their should be some sort of option to configure the other utilites through the ldap initscript or something because otherwise things like in.xfingerd have to be added to inetd.conf by hand or rcpt500 whatever server has to have an entry added to /etc/aliases file by hand (though bad example because I'm not sure that it is safe doing as the manpage suggests when I look at the program itself) Just some thoughts. -Stan Bubrouski e-mail: satan Having slapd execute as a non-root user is in the CVS tree for 2.x, but I've had trouble backporting it to the 1.2.x tree. There's some strange thread-related problem (only one thread changes its uid after it binds to the proper port). I'm not quite sure what you mean when you refer to /etc/aliases. Did you mean the inetd config file instead? Sorry about the spacing of the last message, sometimes I forget what a text-box is ;) When I was refering to /etc/aliases I was refering to rcpt500 manpage which is part of the of the openldap package in the clients directory. Quote: If you are using sendmail(8), you could add the following line to the aliases(5) file (/etc/aliases) to have rcpt500 invoked whenever mail is sent to the address namelookup on your host: namelookup: "|/usr/sbin/rcpt500 -l" That is what I was refering to. It's not a critical service just one of the little ones hidden away in the clients directory, I was just wondering why bother even compiling them if the proper stuff isn't easily added to the config files when the package is installed anyway. Chances are if people had a use for them then they'd prolly expect them to be configured when the openldap package is installed IMHO (which is often times not so humble because so much spare time has left me conceded beyond repair ;) -Stan Bubrouski This should be fixed in the current version of OpenLDAP in our build tree. |
