bz triage by loleary, asantos, stefan, viet, armine, zjin .... expected behavior ... similar behavior as apache. this should be documented.
rechown needs to be done ... this is a development issue. assigning to stefan. and configurable user.
The reproduction steps are outside of the normal/recommended RPM and service use case. However, a couple of steps could be taken to avoid these problems: 1) Part of the startup script update file ownership for agent files to match the user that executes the service before the service is started 2) Allow users to easily configure the user that runs the service 3) Update the documentation with regards to the typical RPM usage
Updated init script for non-ec2 agent RPM to chown all files before attempting to start the agent. Also, moved the user/group configuration variables prominently at the top of the script.
all the files now belong to jbosson-agent:jbosson. verified!
