mariadb@.service incorrectly changing pam ownership in mariadb-install-db

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • Notable changes
    • mariadb systemd mult-instance service was changed to not attempt changes to the permissions on its pam helper server. This prevented unconstructive behaviour and errors in the systemd journal when starting the mariadb@.service.

    Description

      The file mariadb@.service makes the following call:

      ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mysql_install_db $MYSQLD_MULTI_INSTANCE

      Should a call to install a new DB always be done? If it is done, on startup of instance, you see this warning: 

      Mar 12 15:39:47 tosap429 mysql_install_db[3841697]: Cannot change ownership of the '/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir' directory
      		 
      Mar 12 15:39:47 tosap429 mysql_install_db[3841697]: to the 'sbsddb' user. Check that you have the necessary permissions and try again.
