From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: The OpenLDAP daemon slapd runs as user "ldap" as so does not have permission to write into the /var/run directory. The solution is to create a /var/run/ldap/ directory owned by "ldap" and modify the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file to place the slapd.pid and slapd.args files in that directory. This will require modifications to: SPEC file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openldap-servers-2.2.13-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure and run the "ldap" service 2. Notice that the /var/run/slapd.pid file is not created Results after fix: # ls -alp /var/run/ldap total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 ldap ldap 4096 Dec 8 08:06 ./ drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Dec 8 08:06 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 ldap ldap 51 Dec 8 08:06 slapd.args -rw-r--r-- 1 ldap ldap 5 Dec 8 08:06 slapd.pid Additional info:
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
