Category: vde_switch Group: None >Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Fred Richards (flrichar) Assigned to: Luca Bigliardi (shammash) Summary: default socket /var/run/vde.ctl not created on start Initial Comment: When I start vde_switch with the following parameters (as root), it doesn't start: vde_switch -t tap22 -d -M /tmp/vde22.mgmt -g kvm vde_switch: Could not chown socket '': No such file or directory vde_switch: Could not remove ctl socket '/var/run/vde.ctl': No such file or directory I'm running slackware64 13.1 and vde 2.3. (Latest SVN). If I create the dir in an init script before it begins, it works correctly. When I stop the process, it removes the dir. File permissions are fine. If I designate the -s parameter for socket, it is also ok (tested this as a normal user and /tmp/vde.ctl). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred Richards (flrichar) Date: 2010-07-20 09:31 Message: Ok I've recompiled from svn (432) and although it works, it's not setting permissions for my selected group (kvm). In the init script in the source, there's this line: chmod -R a+rwx /var/run/vde.ctl I changed it to chmod -R g+rwx /var/run/vde.ctl And it works fine. If I take that out, my user in the kvm group cannot use the switch. Should the vde_switch set perms (+rwx) for the group? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luca Bigliardi (shammash) Date: 2010-07-20 07:17 Message: Hi, please can you try with the latest svn? I've just pushed a commit which should fix this regression. Thank you, Luca ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fred Richards (flrichar) Date: 2010-07-19 10:23 Message: Ok this was fault. Perms on the socket dir were *not* set correctly. In my example above, I created a "kvm" group for people who can use this switch (and my normal user is in it). The perms set by my init script were entirely way too permissive. I changed the perms and it works better now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=611248&aid=3031623&group_id=95403 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
