Package: fai-client
Version: 3.4.7
Severity: normal
When trying to copy the file "rc.local", fai simply ignores the entry.
When you e.g. use a class and have some lines in the instsoft.CLASS file
like
[ -s $target/etc/hosts ] || fcopy -Bi /etc/hosts
[ -s $target/etc/rc.local ] || fcopy -Bi /etc/rc.local
fai will try to copy all files (and log the success or failure) except
for "rc.local". No log files contain any information about rc.local,
where it should at least report an error. The file rc.local is not
copied. Files named "dc.local" or "rclocal" do not trigger the problem,
so as wild as it might sound, I suspect that only a complete match with
the name "rc.local" gets ignored.

Benjamin

please read the manpage of fcopy - if you want it to report errors you
should be using -v, not -i! Furthermore, your script is almost surely
not calling fcopy at all. The postinst of the initscripts package
creates an /etc/rc.local of nonzero size if it doesn't exist. This is a
required package, therefore /etc/rc.local probably exists in your base.tgz.
This is a bug in your script, not in FAI.
Regards,
Michael
