Description Dmitry Stepankov 2011-09-20 07:39:19 UTC

when running flexlm:
/etc/init.d./flexlm start
error:
* Caching service dependencies ...                                                                 [ ok ]
 * Starting lmgrd ...
Cannot open "/var/log/flexlm.log" as log file (-1)
freopen: Bad file descriptor                                                                        [ !! ]
 * ERROR: flexlm failed to start

--
Problem is that user created by Ebuild 'flexlm' has no write permissions for the 
'/var/log' folder. THerefore it's necessary to create a folder '/var/log/flexlm' with the permissions for 'flexlm' user.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
error

Comment 2 Dmitry Stepankov 2011-09-23 13:20:40 UTC

Also a change in default /etc/conf.d/flexlm is necessary
before:
LMLOG="/var/log/flexlm.log"
after
LMLOG="/var/log/flexlm/flexlm.log"

Thanks!

Ian: Why are you changing permissions in pkg_config? Shouldn't this be done in src_install or pkg_postinst? If we do it in src_install, enewuser needs to be moved to pkg_setup.

Hello, 

This package has no maintainer so this bug may go unnoticed for a long time. Gentoo has a dedicated team for assisting users in maintaining orphaned packages. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact proxy-maint@gentoo.org. 

Kind regards,

Markos

hmm, this is one of the first packages I looked at in the orphan package list.
I also asked about it in dev-help.
It's main problem is the new src url, I couldn't find it.
The tip offered in the query in dev-help was to let it die, since I couldn't find it via google, and is why I did not update and invoke the tip I was given in Comment 3 and from that dev in that query in dev-help
