Description Zbysek MRAZ 2011-02-17 16:24:18 UTC
Description of problem:
While testing the bz#659681 - mkhomedir doesn't obey the UMASK in /etc/login.defs
was discoved bug, that dbus won't allow any change until it knows it's supposed to.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oddjob-0.30-4.el6
dbus-1.2.24-3.el6

Steps to reproduce:
similar to bz#659681
change umask settings in oddjobd conf and restart it.

Actual results
the change does not affect anything

Expected
umask is correctly set

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2011-02-17 16:27:53 UTC
This is similar to bug #636876.  The system message bus isn't letting oddjobd assume a particular service name (in this case the oddjob mkhomedir srevice) because it doesn't yet know to allow it.  Having the oddjob package and its mkhomedir subpackage tell the system message bus to reload its configuration at when they're installed should resolve this.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-02-17 16:38:19 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
