Description Nathan Kinder 2013-03-06 18:17:15 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/585

Assuming <filename> is not a full path,
1) db2ldif -a <filename> tries to create the file in /usr/sbin, which usually fails since the server user ("nobody" by default) does not have the right to write in /usr/sbin.
2) db2ldif.pl -a <filename> creates the file in the log directory /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-ID, which is not expected.

The exported file is supposed to be placed in the current directory where the command-line is executed if "-a <filename>" is specified.

Thanks to Asha for reporting the bug.

Comment 1 Rich Megginson 2013-10-01 23:25:08 UTC

moving all ON_QA bugs to MODIFIED in order to add them to the errata (can't add bugs in the ON_QA state to an errata).  When the errata is created, the bugs should be automatically moved back to ON_QA.
