Revision as of 09:34, 27 November 2013
It should be noted that the manpage should be read carefully if what is intended to do is anything more than just creating top-level directories in /var/run or /var/lock. For instance, pki-ca-9.0.5-1.fc15.noarch, pki-kra-9.0.2-1.fc15.noarch, and pki-ocsp-9.0.1-1.fc15.noarch (at least) do something in the line (example from pki-ca):
D /var/lock/pki 0755 root root - D /var/lock/pki/ca 0755 root root - D /var/run/pki 0755 root root - D /var/run/pki/ca 0755 root root -
As each of the three specify cleaning out the /var/run/pki directory, the result probably won't be what is expected...
