I can confirm both the problem as well as the solution. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! FC3 and FC4 are currently maintained by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. howl is currently obsolete and has been replaced by avahi in the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, FC5 and FC6. Since this is not a security bug, it will not be fixed. avahi has a substantial amount of changes from howl, so please retest this bug against a newer install of Fedora Core if possible. If a similar bug is present in FC5 or FC6, please reopen the bug and change the component to avahi. Thanks! |
Description of problem: The runuser line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mDNSResponder is missing quotes around the -c option, so the $OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS argument is actually part of the runuser command instead of the mDNSResponder command. The fix is to quote the line as follows runuser -s /bin/bash - nobody -c "mDNSResponder $OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS" > /dev/null Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): howl-0.9.6-6 How reproducible: Define a non-empty value for OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS. In my case I had the line OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS="-i eth0" in /etc/sysconfig/network. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS="-i eth0" to /etc/sysconfig/network 2. run "service mDNSResponder start" as root 3. Actual results: Error message from runuser saying that '-i' is an illegal option. Expected results: Additional info:
