[Spacewalk-list] Interesting OSAD Problem

[Glennie, Jonathan - 0443 - MITLL]

Wow. I thought this was something that I had broken with my round of other
issues and subsequent rebuild, but that is indeed identical to my
environment and what I am seeing.  I guess I just didn't notice it happening
before. Thanks for the tip, definitely saved me from a lot of
troubleshooting which appears would have been fruitless anyway.  I'll have
to keep an eye on this and see when it gets fixed.  Thanks again!

This topic came up about a month ago.  

 

The quick and dirty workaround until this gets fixed:

 

semanage permissive -a osad_t

Actually it's somewhat a permissions problem.. Disabling selinux and
restarting now lets the service start correctly.  Looks like I need to
investigate what selinux is unhappy about.

Hello All-

 

I'm having an interesting osad problem. osa-dispatcher starts fine on the
server, but from a client, attempting to do a "service osad start" generates
the "Unable to connect to jabber servers" log messages.  However, if I
manually launch osad from the command line, either by running "osad _N -v -v
-v -v" or simply typing "osad", everything launches just fine. I see the
connection on the server side and I can successfully ping/push commands to
it from the GUI.  

 

What could be causing he difference in behavior?  I've checked and no matter
what way the service is launched, it runs as root so I wouldn't think it's a
permissions issue. Thanks for any help.

 

-Jon
