RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1362201 +++

Description of problem:
Changing RPCBIND_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/rpcbind results in startup failures for rpcbind.

Version-Release number of selected component: rpcbind-0.2.3-10.rc1.fc24.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify the contents of /etc/sysconfig/rpcbind here is an example line that fails:

  RPCBIND_ARGS="-l -h 10.1.10.2"
 
2. Attempt to restart rpcbind.  Start will fail

   systemctl restart rpcbind


Actual results:

Jul 31 21:22:06 mirth.inuus.com rpcbind[3781]: /sbin/rpcbind: invalid option -- ' '
Jul 31 21:22:06 mirth.inuus.com rpcbind[3781]: usage: rpcbind [-adhilswf]


Expected results:

Successful startup of rpcbind with arguments


Additional info:

It appears that removing the braces from the ${RPCBIND_ARGS} in /usr/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service fixes this issue.  This appears to be what other services use.

Move to VERIFIED as comment 4, and will continue to run the automatic case.
