Bug 553678 – sys-auth/sssd init script does not honor SSSD_OPTIONS in conf.d

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description T-Dawg 2015-06-30 21:29:22 UTC]

sssd package has a configuration variable SSSD_OPTIONS="" in /etc/conf.d/sssd which are not being honored by the init script. I believe --start should look more like this:

start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/sssd -- -Df $SSSD_OPTIONS

as apposed to

start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/sssd -- -Df

Hmm interesting. Do you want to submit this upstream along with our conf.d file? The init.d file is also maintained upstream. It would be nice to have everything there. Feel free to CC me if you want to

Done.

Thanks but you also need a patch for the upstream init file

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/sssd.git/tree/src/sysv/gentoo/sssd.in

I suggest you attach your patch to the same bug as well. Thanks

Please see https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/sssd-devel/2015-July/024155.html

They want a Gentoo dev to approve.

I think it's not necessary to send mail to sssd-devel.
We were not aware of this BZ.

Ok thanks. I approve the patch anyway :)

Since this seems to be heading upstream now, I have included your git patch in the portage tree for 1.13 version. Thanks
