It's calling the init script to start it on package install. Basically the program is a one-shot that ensures the host has a kerberos keytab. We run it after installing it, and then on each boot to make sure the host is right if it is renamed and rebooted. ie: %post /etc/init.d/kerberize-client start chkconfig --add kerberize-client chkconfig kerberize-client on -Matt On Tue, 2014-08-12 at 21:22 +0200, Andreas Schwab wrote:

I have a few packages which will attempt to start themselves in a post-install script. However, they require network access and syslog (/dev/log) to be available. At the moment, I'm unable to figure out how to allow this to pass checks in OBS.

Don't do that then. Daemons should be started by init scripts, or on demand.

Thanks for the advice. Is there a page with best-practices for embedded scripts on SUSE? -Matt On Wed, 2014-08-13 at 02:40 +0200, Jan Engelhardt wrote:

Hosts can be renamed without being rebooted, and there may be no network at any time, so that a one-shot service does not seem like the right kind.
