Description Petr Sklenar 2012-05-21 13:37:17 UTC

init script failure for unprivileges / nonroot user

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tog-pegasus-2.11.0-3.el6:

How reproducible:
deterministic 

Description of problem:
try to do any operations with non root:

tog-pegasus-2.11.0-3.el6
# su - superman -c "service tog-pegasus status; echo $?"
env: /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus: Permission denied
0
# su - superman -c "service tog-pegasus stop; echo $?"
env: /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus: Permission denied
0
# su - superman -c "service tog-pegasus start; echo $?"
env: /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus: Permission denied
0
# su - superman -c "service tog-pegasus I_dont_exists; echo $?"
env: /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus: Permission denied
0

  
Actual results:
return code 0

Expected results:
return code 4 during failure
could `service X status` say the status ?

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-25 03:45:54 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This bug is consequence of bz#824297. I suggest to close it as DUPLICATE.

Change init script mode bits to correct value with:
# chmod o+rx /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus

And then try to do operations as non root, everything should work correctly (even 'service X status' will say status).

Comment 4 Vitezslav Crhonek 2012-05-29 10:41:41 UTC

Also note, that reproducer is not correct, the "$?" is expanded before it is send tu "su -c" - it will be zero all the time:

# su - vcrhonek -c "false; echo $?"
0
# set -x
# su - vcrhonek -c "false; echo $?"
+ su - vcrhonek -c 'false; echo 0'
0

The reproducer should look like:
# su - vcrhonek -c 'false; echo $?'
+ su - vcrhonek -c 'false; echo $?'
1

> it will be zero all the time:

More precisely, it will be the exit status of the previous command.

Test looks OK:
