Description of problem: rusersd doesn't run with rpcbind Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rusers-server-0.17-47 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to run rusersd 2. 3. Actual results: rusersd won't start - ended with error message: "Cannot register service: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak" Expected results: rusersd started Additional info: In rusersd drops privileges if it's run with root priv. - works in FC6: /* Drop privilege */ if (getuid() == 0) { struct passwd *pw; if ((pw = getpwnam("nobody")) == NULL) { syslog(LOG_WARNING, "Unable to find user nobody: %m"); exit(1); } if (setgroups(1, &pw->pw_gid) < 0 || setgid(pw->pw_gid) < 0 || setuid(pw->pw_uid) < 0) { syslog(LOG_WARNING, "Failed to drop privilege: %m"); exit(1); } } If you remove this part, rusersd works ok, but I'm not sure if it's safe. There is another service in this package "rstatd" which doesn't drop the privileges and works fine.
Fixed in rusers-0.17-48.f7
