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.

Description Ryan Mullett 2019-04-23 18:29:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
File permissions from the rpm do not match the runtime permissions on several files. This results in mode failures on rpm -Va. Most noticed on systems in which DISA STIG is being performed and file permissions should not be less than the rpm provides or it is considered a finding during an audit. Important for government users and contractors who will be performing DISA STIG. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.49.46-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and configure ipa server
2. rpm -V ipa-server-common

Actual results:
The following files have permissions that are more permissive than the rpm provides:

/var/lib/ipa/pki-ca/publish
/var/lib/kdcproxy
/var/named/dyndb-ldap/ipa

Expected results:
The file permissions provided via rpm should match the final runtime permissions (or they should be less restrictive on the rpm than the runtime permissions, which would not result in a finding).

Additional info:
The following output shows what it "should be" according to the rpm, as well as what it "actually is" after the package has been installed. This could be resolved by using the proper permissions in the spec file, so that rpm -Va will not flag on these files.

These are all %ghost directories and are appearing now due to a change in rpm, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406611
