https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227771 Resolves: bug 227771 Bug Description: FHS: use sysconfdir (/etc) as config file location Reviewed by: ??? Files: see diff Branch: HEAD Fix Description: After much deliberation, we have decided that it is ok that our dynamic config files are under /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance. So the config_dir will be /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance and the security and schema files will go there as well. Since the FHS is ambiguous about this issue, and it will be very confusing if the configuration files are not under /etc, and there are some agents (webmin, cfengine) that do "dynamically" modify config files under /etc, this outweighs any considerations about having the server using it's config file like an "ascii database". In addition, the presence of repl-monitor-cgi causes rpm to complain, and since we only support CGIs in the Admin Server, this file has been removed from the core fedora-ds package. Platforms tested: RHEL4, FC6 Flag Day: no Doc impact: no https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=147685&action=... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Fedora-directory-devel mailing list Fedora-directory-devel(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-devel

The real test is the ability to have a read only /etc. This sounds like a /var/lib thing. Before you get into pain over this, I suggest finding a FHS expert.
