Description Paulo Andrade 2015-01-14 20:35:09 UTC 
RPM psacct specifies the file /var/account/pacct as a ghost file with permissions 640, but after installation the file has permission 644, causing rpm verficiation and subsequent compliance check failures.

A simple psacct.spec pseudo patch would be:

-%attr(0600,root,root)   %ghost %config %{accounting_logdir}/pacct
+%attr(0644,root,root)   %ghost %config %{accounting_logdir}/pacct
Comment 1 Jaromír Cápík 2016-01-11 14:20:10 UTC 
The permissions need to stay 0600 ... the right fix is here:

Comment 3 Jan Rybar 2016-06-07 11:25:44 UTC 
This is not a critical bug for RHEL5 and is considered for patch in further versions of RHEL, namely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182317 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1249665 (Red Hat internal).
This BZ for RHEL5 is proposed to be closed.
Comment 4 Jan Rybar 2016-06-30 11:43:22 UTC 
This bug will not be fixed in this version for the reasons mentioned in Comment 3. The bug is fixed in further versions of RHEL - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1249665
