Description of problem:
Please change scripts.  And anything else to prevent this.

Comment 1 Noriko Hosoi 2005-11-04 22:10:34 UTC
Could you give us more information? Such as...
OS configuration (version, SELinux setup, etc.)
DS configuration (e.g., owner(s) of the server(s)?)
How to reproduce the problem (did you use Console, ldif2db, ldif2db.pl or
something else?)
Error message you got (slapd-<id>/logs/errors)

If you could let us use your test machine, it'd help us a lot to debug the problem.
Thanks,
--noriko


Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2005-11-04 22:24:33 UTC
This was suggested by richm, that I add this bugzilla.  So you can talk to him
for more info.  Basically with SELinux policy we are setting up the directories
that the LDAP program can write to.  We are not going to allow it to write to
the ldif directory.  Rich Suggested that this was the default and should be
changed, and asked that I submit a bug report.

SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
