rename PCP_NSSDB_DIR to PCP_SECURE_DB_PATH in pcp.conf
There was no reference to PCP_NSSDB_DIR in the source code, only to
PCP_SECURE_DB_PATH. pcpintro(1) also references PCP_SECURE_DB_PATH.
Resolves Red Hat BZ #1826020
Will be resolved via rebase to pcp-5.1 in RHEL 8.3. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1792971 *** Verified on pcp-5.1.1-2.el8 build. |
Description of problem: The default pcp.conf contains the following lines # directory for PCP specific nssdb # Standard path: /etc/pcp/nssdb PCP_NSSDB_DIR=/etc/pcp/nssdb Actually PCP_NSSDB_DIR is not used anywhere. According to pmintro(1) PCP_SECURE_DB_PATH When set, this variable specifies an alternate certficate database path for client tools. Similar to the action of the -C option for pmcd(1) and pmproxy(1). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8 (Maipo) # rpm -qf /etc/pcp.conf pcp-conf-4.3.2-6.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: not appliccable Actual results: pcp.conf by default contains incorrect information. Expected results: the file should not contain incorrect information. Additional info: The misleading information led a customer to waste time attempting to set secure communication between pmlogger and a remote pmdc.
