+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1420505 +++ Description of problem: When LogLevel=debug and LogTarget=kmsg, systemd will send the message "Executing: /path/to/exececutable" to the socket that is connected to the remote client in a socket-based activation unit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-219-30.el7_3.6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set LogLevel=debug and LogTarget=kmsg, either through system.conf file or the kernel command-line (as described in https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/) 2. Enable a socket-based service, like cups-lpd. 3. Use telnet to connect to the socket based service. Actual results: # telnet 127.0.0.1 515 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. Executing: /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd Expected results: The "Executing: /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd" message should not be displayed. Additional info: This is causing a real-world problem with remote LPD clients connecting to RHEL. The "Executing..." message violates the LPD protocol as described in RFC 1179.
I reproduced this problem in Fedora 24 with systemd-229-16.fc24.x86_64: # telnet localhost 515 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. cups-lpd@1-::1:515-::1:50374.service: Executing: /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
Submitted bug upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5401
This has been fixed in systemd release 233. A backport may be appropriate.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
