[Bug 719686] New: Service does not start without portmapper
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719686 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719686#c0 Summary: Service does not start without portmapper Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Milestone 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2 After installation of the packages fam and fam-server one could activate the fam service simply by giving, as root, the command "rcfam start". This is no longer the case. There is an error message in /var/log/messages telling: Sep 22 10:26:55 eik121m5 famd[2572]: can't register with portmapper. So apparently portmapper is now necessary. In openSUSE 11.4 this was not necessary. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: fam daemon does not start Expected Results: fam daemon does start without portmapper. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However stopping it using "rcfam stop" did stop the service, but after that neither "rcfam start" nor "systemctl start fam.service" was able to start the service. Another observation is that "rcfam status" mentions a process number which is not visible using "ps aux"; this was while the status still showed an active fam service. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Apparently it was never necessary to enable this service in previous versions of openSUSE. I googled for portmapper when I saw the error message and could only find a referral to xinitd, never a link to rpcbind. So in my view the fam service should depend on the rpcbind service, which apparently is not the case. So this appears to me as a bug. Another point of needed knowledge is that when you install a package that delivers an init service you have to perform a "systemctl daemon-reload". Maybe it would be informative when "systemctl status some.service" does not find the service to give the hint to perform the daemon-reload command. Another suggestion would be to include in the package that delivers an init service to perform the daemon-reload command. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

A better error message from the famd executable would help to find this solution much earlier. A patch to the source file Listener.c++ to provide a better error message is attached. There is also a problem with enabling the fam.service with systemctl. It should give a proper error message when the rpcbind service is not enabled. Using the systemv command chkconfig to enable fam (set to on), while rpcbind is not enabled, does give such an error message, although the service is set to on in init 3 and 5. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In /etc/init.d/fam the line Required-Start does not contain rpcbind, so you may try to add rpcbind at the end of this line and see how this affects this problem.

Do you use systemV or systemd, in the last case, in 12.2 rpcbind is a systemd controlled service, where fam is still controlled in systemV. So dependencies may be messed up.
