Description Tomas Hoger 2010-09-23 10:19:03 UTC
Description of problem:
setup-nsssysinit.sh re-writes / re-creates pkcs11.txt.  When new file is created, current umask is taken into an account.  If run with restrictive umask settings, the file may be created with permission that do no allow non-privileged users to read the file, hence sysinit may remain disabled for users even when it's intended to be enabled.

The script should either set umask before running sed, let sed take care of preserving correct permissions (using in-place edit mode), or chmod file at the end of run.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.12.7-6.fc13

Additional info:

Comment 9 Andre Robatino 2010-10-30 00:22:48 UTC
In F14, when updating to nss-sysinit-3.12.8-2.fc14, pkcs11.txt is created as pkcs11.txt.rpmnew even though the file hasn't changed. At the time of package cleanup, the modification date on pkcs11.txt is updated to the current value, so the package no longer verifies.

output of "ls -l" before installing new version (note that the time is that of my original F14 install):
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   451 Oct 28 00:21 pkcs11.txt

output after installing new version and before cleaning up old version:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   451 Oct 28 00:21 pkcs11.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   451 Oct  7 01:19 pkcs11.txt.rpmnew

output after cleaning up old version:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   451 Oct 29 20:16 pkcs11.txt (time is the instant the old package is cleaned up):
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   451 Oct  7 01:19 pkcs11.txt.rpmnew

[root@dell-pc nssdb]# rpm -V nss-sysinit
.......T.  c /etc/pki/nssdb/pkcs11.txt
[root@dell-pc nssdb]#

Comment 10 Andre Robatino 2010-10-30 00:28:09 UTC
Never mind, I noticed that after "mv pkcs11.txt.rpmnew pkcs11.txt", the package verifies.
