This is weird, /var/run should be a symlink to /run. Also you have a typo in your sed expression, there is '=' missing in the second part. But I have tried nscd on my rhel7 and it simply works out of box. You are right, the problem is my side with a non-existent symlink. I focused on the content of the package. Sorry for your time. |
Description of problem: When activated, nscd is not started properly by systemd. It looks like the configured pidfile in the systemd unit does not match the actual one : $ grep PID /usr/lib/systemd/system/nscd.service PIDFile=/run/nscd/nscd.pid while the file is written in /var/run/nscd/nscd.pid by the daemon. Systemd is then stuck on his waiting for the pid file creation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nscd-2.17-55 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. systemctl start nscd Actual results: systemd[1]: Starting Name Service Cache Daemon... systemd[1]: PID file /run/nscd/nscd.pid not readable (yet?) after start. systemd[1]: nscd.service operation timed out. Terminating. systemd[1]: Failed to start Name Service Cache Daemon. Expected results: systemd[1]: Started Name Service Cache Daemon. Additional info: Modifying the unit file resolves the issue : $ sed -i 's@PIDFile=/run/nscd/nscd.pid@PIDFile/var/run/nscd/nscd.pid@' /usr/lib/systemd/system/nscd.service
