Description of problem: rstatd/rusersd won't stay up for more than about 2 minutes, then systemd kills it Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rusers-server-0.17-66.fc16.i686 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. systemctl start rstatd.service 2. note this doesn't return for 2 minutes; note rstatd runs for 2 minutes 3. note rstatd is no longer running after 2 minutes repeat for rusersd; same deal Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: /lib/systemd/system/rstatd.service has been configured with the PIDFile=/var/run/rstatd.pid parameter, telling systemd to expect a pid file when rstatd is happy. However rstatd never writes a pid file, so systemd kills it after 2 minutes. Same deal with rusersd. In prior Fedora releases, the /etc/init.d/rstatd script did a 'touch /var/run/rstatd.pid' for completeness. Similar with rusersd. The fix is to remove the PIDFile arg from /lib/systemd/system/rstatd.service, or to modify rstatd source to get it to write a pid file. Similar with rusersd.
