Description of problem: iprutils start a number of processes even on machines without ipr: root 2077 0.0 0.0 2272 492 ? Ss 06:00 0:00 /sbin/iprinit --daemon root 2084 0.0 0.0 2272 492 ? Ss 06:00 0:00 /sbin/iprupdate --daemon root 2092 0.0 0.0 10340 324 ? Ss 06:00 0:00 /sbin/iprdump Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iprutils-2.2.8-1.fc9 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora PPC on a machine with iprutils installed but no ipr controller. 2. ps | grep ipr 3. Actual results: iprinit, iprdump and iprupdate are all running Expected results: None of them should be unless the adapters exist on the system Additional info: I also noticed that if you run 'init 3' / 'init 5' a few times to debug gdm stuff, every time you cycle through another set of ipr daemons are started. Over time that could end up being quite a few.
At first I will answer for you additional info. It is done by bad init scripts. These init scripts are fixed in iprutils-2_2_8-4_fc9. It is possible that this also fix problem you reported. Unfortunately I can't test it. Can you please try that new package and tell if the problem remains?
Changing status to NEEDINFO. Olof Johansson can you please check that new iprutils-2_2_8-4_fc9? Thank you.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
My point of view is, why to install iprutils if you don't have ipr controller?
Because it's installed by default. How about researching a problem before closing a bug?! Ktnxbye.

I think this should be tested during installation. Probably in anaconda. When there will be no adapter, don't install iprutils or don't start initscripts by default. User can later install iprutils or turn on starting scripts (later, when there will be some adapter). Since first version must be done in anaconda and second version can be done in iprutils rpm.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
