Yes. There is a bug in the spec file - it does not create /var/run/dirsrv, and it can mess up the permissions/ownership on that directory. After you install/yum upgrade fedora-ds-base and the other packages, but before you run setup-ds-admin.pl, make sure /var/run/dirsrv exists and has the correct permissions and ownership. > > 8) Some details of the binary and my kernel version: > > [root at dirserver1 sbin]# file ns-slapd > ns-slapd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), > for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for > GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped > [root at dirserver1 sbin]# > [root at dirserver1 sbin]# uname -a > Linux dirserver1.cdsl.cl 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:49:47 EDT > 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux > > > Could it be related to the difference of the kernel version? > > Thanks! > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
