Hello, The www-misc/vdradmin-am init script should create the vdradmin directories if these are missing. I know these are created via installation, but it can happen that users clear their temp directories (especially cache and run). This diff will fix it: --- vdradmin-3.6.6.init.org 2010-04-22 11:50:59.000000000 +0200 +++ vdradmin-3.6.6.init 2010-04-22 12:30:04.000000000 +0200 @@ -30,9 +30,10 @@ fi # Guarantee that vdradmin can access its dirs - chown -R "${VDRADMIN_USER}:vdradmin" /var/cache/vdradmin - chown -R "${VDRADMIN_USER}:vdradmin" /var/log/vdradmin - chown -R "${VDRADMIN_USER}:vdradmin" /var/run/vdradmin + for i in cache log run ; do + [ ! -d /var/$i/vdradmin ] && mkdir /var/$i/vdradmin + chown -R "${VDRADMIN_USER}:vdradmin" /var/$i/vdradmin + done chown -R "${VDRADMIN_USER}:vdradmin" /etc/vdradmin if [ -x /etc/init.d/root ]; then
Makes sense, I will look into this when I find time. Also the for loop is a good idea. I just hacked something together that should work, but this a cleaner way of managing the directories. Thanks for the patch
