For some time now i have been running BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.1
x86_64 however after upgrading to CentOS 5.2 BackupPC will not start.
"sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc start" return OK but there is no
BackupPC processes.
This fails also.
# sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC -d
# echo $?
0
This succeeds, but of course does not fork.
# sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC
So for some reason after the CentOS 5.2 upgrade it will not fork
into the background.
I have run the perl debugger over it and up until the fork
everything is fine.
Nothing appears in the LOG.
With some help from the BackupPC list i have narrowed the problem
down to the NSS config, I use LDAP to resolve users and groups.
In /etc/nsswitch.conf this is what is there and was there with
CentOS 5.1, with this config BackupPC will not background.
<snip>
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
<snip>
However, with this in nsswitch.conf the service will background.
<snip>
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files
group: files ldap
<snip>
Apparently this has been seen to affect dhcpd too, but with the
"services" nss database.
Any ideas on this? What has changed between 5.1 and 5.2?
Look in the release notes for C5 (search for nss_ldap):
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.2
Try my fixed RPM here:
http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/nss_ldap/5/
Upstream bugzilla entry here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448014
Thanks for the pointer.
Is your RPM any different to the one the Testing Repo as documented
in the release notes?
It is the same RPM, just in a different place so I can link it from
the RH bugzilla entry too.
Thanks Johnny, i went and applied the RPM from testing and all works as
expected.
Thanks for your help.
Ben
