Description Al Dunsmuir 2010-04-19 21:43:33 UTC 
Description of problem: When displaying services, get 13 identical blocks of messages in the syslog when the rsync daemon is installed.

I don't know if even one block of messages should be emitted.  13 sure as heck is excessive.  Very annoying when trying to debug a named issue.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F13 beta i686, all updates

How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install rsync deamon
2. view syslog
3. Start System->Administration->Services
  
Actual results:
System->Administration->Services generates following in syslog for a single invocation:

Comment 1 Jan Zeleny 2010-06-01 13:28:32 UTC 
Each of these blocks means xinetd received a signal for reconfiguration (I believe it is SIGHUP). I suggest to look at the application that sends these signals. I'm adding maintainer of system-config-services to CC. Maybe he knows what's going on.

Nils, can you take a look and give me a hint if this is caused by system-config-services? Thanks.
Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2010-06-25 10:06:42 UTC 
It is caused by s-c-services. When discovering an xinetd service, s-c-services set the "enabled" property (instead of the "_enabled" variable) of the service object, which triggered running "chkconfig --type xinetd ... {off,on}" and "service xinetd reload". I've fixed this in the source repository:
