Situation: radvd exits with this message in syslog: > another radvd seems to be already running, terminating configuration seems right, no radvd.pid file exists afaik The problem seems to be that radvd running as uid radvd has insufficient privileges to write a radvd.pid-file to /var/run/radvd. Temp solution: manually >chown .radvd /var/run/radvd >chmod g+rwx /var/run/radvd Looking at the radvd.ebuild it seems like it is already taken care of, but still it does not work for me .. anyone else having the same problem? Maybe fowners and fperms somehow does not work correctly on my system? Or maybe it is a global problem? Christian
did /var/run/radvd exist on your system before you merged this ebuild?
I can't recall, but after doing this test I believe that it might have already existed as /var/run/radvd.tst poped up with no problem emerging the test ebuild. /* --- radvd-0.7.1.ebuild~ 2002-11-02 14:53:55.000000000 +0100 +++ radvd-0.7.1.ebuild 2002-11-30 10:42:07.000000000 +0100 @@ -41,9 +41,9 @@ exeinto /etc/init.d doexe ${FILESDIR}/radvd - mkdir -p ${D}/var/run/radvd - fowners radvd.radvd /var/run/radvd - fperms 755 /var/run/radvd + mkdir -p ${D}/var/run/radvd.tst + fowners radvd.radvd /var/run/radvd.tst + fperms 755 /var/run/radvd.tst } pkg_postinst () { */ Sorry about the inconvenience, I believe you can close this bug now.

ok, closing this.
