system-config-bind Initialization Error: chown named:named invalid user
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:14 EST
Description of problem: When starting system-config-bind for the first time following bind install and no prior configuration of bind, initialization fails with the following message in a GTK dialog box: Error Initialization Error: Configuration could not be initialized from defaults: /bin/chown: `named:named': invalid user This is most likely due to bind not creating the named default user anymore but only the named group. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.4.1-9.P1.fc7 system-config-bind-4.0.2-6.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install bind and system-config-bind on a clean (as in no prior bind config) box 2. start system-config-bind Actual results: Get the above describe error message box Expected results: system-config-bind should go ahead with initialization and not use chown but instead use chgrp to set rights on configuration files
Hi, I installed both packages on F7/x86_64. The bind package created the named user and group and the system-config-bind package created initial default bind configuration and normally started. Versions of tested packages are the same, so I'm not able to reproduce it. Please, try it again and let me know if you have any other details. I will ask the bind package maintainer whether it is possible that the bind package doesn't create named user during installation, but I don't think so. Cheers, Ondrej
Weird, I am not able to reproduce either.
