[rhn-users] RHEL3 services do not start as non-root user

[Bereznai Tibor]

Dear All,

Using RHEL3 (updated) after setting up LDAP and NSS, the following problem I 
face (several installations, all the same !!)
After a while or rebooting the system, the following services do not start 
claiming to permission denied to conf files: named, ldap. additionally apache 
starts as apache, but does not service anything under var/www or anywhere - it 
says forbidden. After I put named into jail, named starts, and even LDAP 
starts in jail, but ldap is unable to write anything into database. It seems 
to me, that after the first fork or clone, when the offended service setuid to 
the apropriate user (named -> named, ldap -> ldap and so on ) it is unable to 
reach anything outside. If I start these services as root, then everything 
gets OK, exept apache, since can not be started as root obviosusly.

Any idea ?

Would be urgent. Thanks in advance.
