Hi,

I made the following on a Debian Lenny chroot environment:

1) Installed all the dependences on the OS for the 389-ds-base-1.2.1 
package.
2) I compiled sucessfully the 389-ds-base-1.2.1 package.
3) I configured the service, and in the last step the service didn't 
start, giving me the following error:

Directory Manager DN [cn=Directory Manager]:
Password:
Password (confirm):
/dev/null: Permission denied
Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems

4) Error log:

5) Trying to start it manually:

root at dirserv1:/opt/dirsrv/etc/rc.d/init.d# ./dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv:
    dirserv1.../dev/null: Permission denied
^C

6) Reviewing the permissions over /dev/null

root at dirserv1:~/project-389# ls -l /dev/null
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 2009-05-31 23:38 /dev/null

I changed the permissions:

root at dirserv1:~/project-389# chmod 0666 /dev/null
root at dirserv1:~/project-389# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2009-05-31 23:38 /dev/null

7) Trying again:

root at dirserv1:/opt/dirsrv/etc/rc.d/init.d# ./dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv:
    dirserv1... FAILED
  *** Warning: 1 instance(s) failed to start

8) Seeing the error log file:

root at dirserv1:/opt/dirsrv/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-dirserv1# cat errors
[04/Jun/2009:04:43:11 +0000] - Fedora-Directory/1.2.1 B2009.152.220 
starting up
[04/Jun/2009:04:43:11 +0000] - Failed to create semaphore for stats file 
(/opt/dirsrv/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserv1.stats). Error 38.(Function 
not implemented)

Some idea bout this error please?

Thanks.
