We have a 389DS instance that has started having a strange problem when it runs its backups - [04/Sep/2014:01:05:01 -0500] - Backup finished. [04/Sep/2014:05:55:01 -0500] - chown_dir_files: file (/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-vadc-ldap2-prod/errors) chown failed (13) Permission denied. [04/Sep/2014:05:55:01 -0500] - chown_dir_files: file (/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-vadc-ldap2-prod/errors.20140820-144326) chown failed (13) Permission denied. [04/Sep/2014:05:55:01 -0500] - chown_dir_files: file (/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-vadc-ldap2-prod/errors) chown failed (13) Permission denied. [04/Sep/2014:05:55:01 -0500] - chown_dir_files: file (/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-vadc-ldap2-prod/errors.20140820-144326) chown failed (13) Permission denied. [04/Sep/2014:05:55:01 -0500] - chown_dir_files: file (/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-vadc-ldap2-prod/errors) chown failed (13) Permission denied. [04/Sep/2014:05:55:01 -0500] - chown_dir_files: file (/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-vadc-ldap2-prod/errors.20140820-144326) chown failed (13) Permission denied. This is coming from the db2bak.pl backup script. Somehow our log files are ending up with permissions --------- and then since they can't be written to the instance crashes. The only thing that has changed recently on this instance is that we configured secure replication back to another server (it was already receiving replication traffic from that server, so now they are able to replicate back and forth to each other). We are running 389-ds-base-1.2.11.25-1.el6.x86_64 on 2.6.39-300.26.1.el6uek.x86_64 any suggestions on why this instance has started behaving this way would be appreciated. thanks - EJ -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
