Hi,When troubleshooting what I thought was an NFS4 issue, I have found what looks to be a bug in ipa-client-install. On a CentOS 5.8 machine, I ran ipa-client-install --no-ntp --force --hostname=kelvin-c5.<dnsdomainname> and successfully bound to the domain. I am now trying to get nfs4 up and running, and found that idmapd was not starting. I traced that back to an empty /etc/sysconfig/network file, and ipa-client-install looks to be the cause. [root@kelvin-c5 ~]# ls -al /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network.orig /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/*-network -rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 13 11:58 /etc/sysconfig/network -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Aug 12 2011 /etc/sysconfig/network.orig -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Aug 12 2011 /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/477d00fd6ff85634-network I looked back on another CentOS 5 machine we have, and the same problem exists there. I was surprised to see that most network services were working when the file was empty. It turns out that many network services start properly with an empty /etc/sysconfig/network file, but some do not. It appears to be down to the structure of the test in the init scripts; e.g. [ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ]&& exit 0 vs. [ "${NETWORKING}" != "yes" ]&& exit 6 So, is this a bug in ipa-client-install? Can I just copy my network.orig back into place in order to get rpcidmapd and friends to run correctly?
Yes, it should be safe to copy that file back. What we try to do is ensure that the hostmae provided to ipa-client-install is reflected in /etc/sysconfig/networking.
What rpm version of ipa-client-install are you using? rob _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
