George Paul updated TS-15: -------------------------- Attachment: TS-15_user_patch1.diff This patch 'TS-15_user_patch1.diff' is a modified patch of 'fix-nobody-user.patch' submitted by 'mt...@apache.org' and updates TrafficCop.cc and RecordsConfig.cc also. By default the $pkgsysuser and $pkgsysgroup is the current user doing the build. To enable a different system user and group use the '--with-user=<newuser>' and '--with-group=<newgroup>' options with 'configure'. patch -p0 -i TS-15_user_patch1.diff thanks to 'mt...@apache.org' for the original patch. Tested on Ubuntu-8.04. Please review and let me know if there are any issues. cheers, -George > User nobody / group nobody might not exist > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: TS-15 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-15 > Project: Traffic Server > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Build > Reporter: Leif Hedstrom > Attachments: TS-15_user_patch1.diff > > > The user nobody, or group nobody, might not exist on some system, causing > "make install" to fail. We should check for some common alternatives here, > and/or provide switches to configure to specify which user and group to use > (two switches). For example, on Ubuntu the user "nobody" is a member of the > group "nogroup", causing our install breaks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
