Description Stu Tomlinson 2011-06-27 15:28:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
The permissions on /var/run/ez-ipupdate & /var/cache/ez-ipupdate are too restrictive by default and prevent ez-ipupdate from actually functioning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0.11-0.22.b8.el6

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ez-ipupdate
2. Configure it
3. Attempt to start it
  
Actual results:
error in /var/log/messages
ez-ipupdate[5046]: could not create pid file /var/run/ez-ipupdate/service.pid (Bad file descriptor), exiting

Expected results:
success logged in /var/log/messages:
ez-ipupdate[5179]: successful update for eth0->10.10.10.10 (service.dyndns.org)

Additional info:
changing the permissions fixed the problems:
chmod 755 /var/run/ez-ipupdate /var/cache/ez-ipupdate

I'm also a user of ez-ipupdate. I realised the package has not been updated since 2010 and I found this bug filed in 2011.

Could the maintainer kindly update the spec file please?

I think this is fixed since a while back.
