RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: bacula-5.0.0-8.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, the make_catalog_backup.pl script created a MySQL configuration file, which had the file permissions set to world-writeable and world-readable so that MySQL did not accept the configuration file with these permissions and the MySQL database login configuration was not used. As a result, it was not possible to complete a MySQL database dump. With this update, the configuration file is now created with correct permissions, and the MySQL database login configuration is used by MySQL so that it is now possible to complete the MySQL database dump as expected.

Description Leon Fauster 2010-11-10 09:36:21 UTC 
==========================================
Description of problem:

the release 5.0.0 has a bug in /usr/libexec/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl
the umask argument in line 92 in wrong - this is correct in the upstream version (5.0.3)


==========================================
How reproducible:

executing make_catalog_backup.pl will generate .my.cnf in /var/spool/bacula
with wrong permissions which leads to fail in trying to reading it.

==========================================
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

5.0.0-7.el6

This issue was proposed for RHEL 6.1 FasTrack but did not get resolved in time.
It has been moved to RHEL 6.2 FasTrack.
