Description Mamoru TASAKA 2010-11-17 17:26:25 UTC
Description of problem:
On rawhide:

[root@localhost ~]# service groonga status
grn_ctx_connect failed (127.0.0.1:10041)
[root@localhost ~]# service groonga start
Starting groonga (via systemctl):  Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
                                                           [失敗]

Currently I have no idea what this message means.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
groonga-1.0.3-1.fc15.i686
initscripts-9.22-2.fc15.i686
systemd-12-3.fc15.i686


How reproducible:
100%

Comment 1 Daiki Ueno 2010-11-18 03:57:30 UTC
After looking at the output of strace, I think this is due to the bug of runuser program in coreutils, used by daemon() in initscripts:

$ su
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
# runuser -s /bin/bash nobody
runuser: incorrect password

Actually it seems that coreutils-8.7-runuser.patch was recently added to coreutils-8.7-1.fc15.

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2010-11-18 05:56:17 UTC
Thanks for report, it's likely, due to heavy changes caused by adopting new PAM patch. Will check where is the problem.

Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2010-11-18 19:07:30 UTC
coreutils-8.7-2.fc15 should fix the issue ( http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=205449 ) ...

Seems good, thank you.
