Description of problem: The program system-config-authentication (aka authconfig-gtk?) calls chkconfig incorrectly which is evident by console messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest in Fedora Core 5. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. From console, run system-config-authentication Actual results: Following is printed to console: chkconfig version 1.3.29 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc. This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public License. usage: chkconfig --list [name] chkconfig --add <name> chkconfig --del <name> Expected results: Additional info: The following are selections from the strace log: [pid 2937] execve("/sbin/chkconfig", ["chkconfig", "nscd"], [/* 21 vars */]) = 0 [pid 2937] open("/etc/init.d/nscd", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 2937] open("/etc/xinetd.d/nscd", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
The call is correct however the message printed on console by chkconfig when nscd is not installed should be redirected to /dev/null.
Fixed in FC6 authconfig.
