/etc/defaults oddness

[lueningh]

After building an RPM of the bcfg 1.0.0 source and installing it on a fresh server, I couldn't start it up and it wasn't immediately obvious how to fix it:

mgt5:/var/lib/bcfg2 # /etc/init.d/bcfg2-server start
bcfg2-server is disabled - see /etc/default/bcfg2-server      failed
mgt5:/var/lib/bcfg2 # ls /etc/default/bcfg2-server
ls: /etc/default/bcfg2-server: No such file or directory

Looks like that file needs to be added to the packaging.

We need to change the message on redhat machines to tell the user to look at /etc/sysconfig instead of /etc/default.

Does this help any

That seems to be doing the same thing for me...

In that case, maybe we should unify the behavior across distros and have the redhat packages ship with the configuration in /etc/default as well. Does this work?

That didn't make any difference either. Looking more closely at the patch, though, I have a new question: I'm building with "rpmbuild -ta bcfg-1.0.0.tar.gz", and I bet that is finding the bcfg2.spec file that exists in the misc/ directory. Is there a "correct" way to recreate the spec file from the spec.in and get it in the right place?
