Description Rich Megginson 2011-02-25 22:22:29 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #680284 +++

We currently create /var/run/dirsrv in the post-install scripts if it doesn't already exist.  This can cause problems with incorrect permissions when you run setup-ds.pl.  The issue is that setup-ds.pl will leave the owner alone if /var/run/dirsrv exists already and it will reset the group permissions only.  If a SuiteSpotGroup is not specified, the group permissions are set to none.  This will cause the instance to not have permission to write it's pidfile unless it is configured to run as root.

If we don't create /var/run/dirsrv at post-install, setup-ds.pl will create it with the proper permissions.

I request dev to please verify this.

Comment 5 Rich Megginson 2011-04-15 14:22:19 UTC

steps to verify:
1) get a clean system that has never had rhds or 389 installed on it
2) install the 389-ds-base rpm (or yum install)
3) check to see that the directory /var/run/dirsrv does not exist
