Re: regular yum symas-openldap-servers update breaks permissions on /var/symas/openldap-data

Hi,

We're seeing this quite consistently.

Before updating: [root@ldaps01 log]# ls -l /var/symas/ drwx------. 3 ldap ldap 50 Aug 28 16:28 openldap-data

After updating: [root@ldaps01 log]# ls -l /var/symas/ drwx------. 3 root root 50 Aug 28 16:28 openldap-data

And afterwards symas-openldap-server (running as ldap:ldap) no longer starts, since permission denied on /var/symas/openldap-data.

Reverting the permissions back to ldap:ldap solves it. But...WHY is this happening.

Are we somehow encouraged to run openldap as root..?

Why would a post-install script reset permissions on /var/symas/openldap-data?

Thanks!
