Description timbrammer910 2013-04-05 15:50:59 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm having trouble getting OSAD started on Fedora 18. When running # systemctl status osad, it shows as loaded, but masked in /usr/lib/systemd/system/. Listing that directory shows now sym to /dev/null though. Despite this, I still ran # systemctl start osad, and was greeted with "Failed to issue method call: Unit osad.service is masked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
osad-5.11.18-1.fc18.noarch

How reproducible:

Install and attempt to start osad

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum install osad
2.systemctl start osad
3.
  
Actual results:
osad.service is masekd

Expected results:
osad starts

Additional info:

I've utilized the info here: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OsadHowTo

but have so far been unsuccessful. running # /usr/sbin/osad -N -v -v -v -v returns nothing. I've also attempted to run # systemctl unmask osad which also returns nothing.

Update:

Copying osad.service to osad1.service, running # systemctl reload-daemon and starting osad1 works. So the issue isn't with osad per se, but perhaps the way the service is added/created?

Can you show the exact output you get?

Can you show the output of that ls command?

Jan,

You can close this, sorry for not following up.

I've been unable to reproduce it after modifying my kickstart script to enable to service.

Thank you for your response.
