Description of problem: The autodir target files, autohome.target and autogroup.target fail to start, and do not use the conf files in /etc/sysconfig. They should be service files. the [Service] section is not valid in a target file. Second, the sysconfig files are not used, and the backup options of autodir cannot be set. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 How reproducible: Enable and start either target. Steps to Reproduce: systemctl enable autohome.target systemctl start autohome.target Actual results: /var/log/messages Jun 2 20:22:52 montechristo systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/autohome.target:5] Unknown section 'Service'. Ignoring. Jun 2 20:22:52 montechristo systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/autohome.target:6] Assignment outside of section. Ignoring.

Jun 2 20:22:52 montechristo systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/autohome.target:8] Assignment outside of section. Ignoring. Expected results: ps -ef | grep autodir A running autodir process. Home directories when users log in... Additional info: I'm re-writing the target files as autohome.service for now. Using autofs.service as a model since they both do something similar, automount home directories. The current after local-fs target does not account for user logins and NIS users and groups being available. I'll attach the service files after I get everything working and tested.
Created attachment 589320 [details] Replace autohome.target with autohome.service The current autohome.target is invalid. A service section is not allowed in a target file. The attached file replaces /lib/systemd/system/autohome.target This service file: 1) Uses /etc/sysconfig/autohome for main variables. 2) Uses Before's from autofs.service (network.target ypbind.service) The service does not: 1) Set the optional backup variables. A ExecStartPre command illustrates the variables needed.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
