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.

Description Rich Megginson 2011-02-25 22:22:29 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #680284 +++

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.

I request dev to please verify this.
Comment 5 Rich Megginson 2011-04-15 14:22:19 UTC 
steps to verify:
1) get a clean system that has never had rhds or 389 installed on it
2) install the 389-ds-base rpm (or yum install)
3) check to see that the directory /var/run/dirsrv does not exist
