package: inadyn version: 1.99.4
Severity: important Hi! I have installed inadyn 1.99.4 through the Raspbian Buster apt packager. I realised that the inadyn package preconfigures a user debian-inadyn:debian-inadyn that can be used for configuring a systemd service. This is nicely described in the NEWS.Debian.gz file (also changing the daemon setting to "On" in /etc/default/inadyn). However, such a service will not work out of the box because of several reasons: 1) the package does not contain a inadyn.service file for using with systemd. 2) an old init.d script is included and i am not sure whether this is of any use in Debian Buster, when Debian uses systemd instead of init.d since several years. 3) the package sets the proper ownership for the log files, but it forgets to set the proper ownership for /run/inadyn directory. That is why the service run under debian-inadyn:debian-inadyn will not have access to access the pid-file. After setting directory ownership to debian-inadyn:debian-inadyn for /run/inadyn the service starts and works nicely with a standard service file for systemd.
