Package: slapd Version: 2.2.27-0pm2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
when SLAPD_USER is set to a non-privilegded user and TRY_BDB_RECOVERY is set to yes, slapd may not start. The reason for this is that the recovery command db4.2_recover changes the ownership of the __db.* files in the dbdirs to root:root. Depending on the ownership and priviledges this may or may not hinder slapd from starting. The attached patch corrects it by changing the ownership of the dbdirs to SLAPD_USER:SLAPD_GROUP Peter -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18pm2 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libiodbc2 3.52.2-3 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap-2.2-7 2.2.27-0pm2 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.6-6 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libperl5.8 5.8.4-8 Shared Perl library ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library ii libslp1 1.2.1-0pm1 OpenSLP libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-perl] 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy -- debconf information excluded
