We currently create /var/run/dirsrv in the post-install scripts if it doesn't already exist. This can cause problems with incorrect permissions when you run setup-ds.pl. The issue is that setup-ds.pl will leave the owner alone if /var/run/dirsrv exists already and it will reset the group permissions only. If a SuiteSpotGroup is not specified, the group permissions are set to none. This will cause the instance to not have permission to write it's pidfile unless it is configured to run as root. If we don't create /var/run/dirsrv at post-install, setup-ds.pl will create it with the proper permissions.

Can u please add steps to verify? Thanks
(In reply to comment #3) > Can u please add steps to verify? Thanks make sure the system is completely clean of 389 packages - make sure there are no /var/*/dirsrv directories. yum install 389-ds-base There should not be a /var/run/dirsrv directory after yum install - it should be created when you run setup-ds[-admin].pl
make sure the system is completely clean of 389 packages - make sure there are no /var/*/dirsrv directories.

Not sure why yum core dumped. You should probably file a bug against yum. But the directory server bug has been verified.
