[Bug 1287624] Re: Munged does not start

[Marc Deslauriers]

Uploaded for processing by the SRU team, thanks!

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Munge daemon does not start in ubuntu 14.04 beta.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ - Install package
+ - Try "sudo service munge start"
+ - See if service starts or if there is an error
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The service currently doesn't start. Worst case, the patch would still prevent the service from starting.
+ 
+ 
+ Original report:
+ 
  Munge daemon does not start in ubuntu 14.04 beta.
  
  sudo service munge start
-  * Starting MUNGE munged                                                 [fail] 
+  * Starting MUNGE munged                                                 [fail]
  munged: Error: Logfile is insecure: group-writable permissions set on "/var/log"
  
  /var/log permissions are (I have not changed them in any way):
  drwxrwxr-x 13 root syslog 4,0K maali  4 06:40 log
  
  However, I can start munge manually by running "sudo munged -f", which
  runs the daemon despite warnings.

Title:
  Munged does not start

Status in munge package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in munge source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in munge source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  ===================
  on 16.04 LTS:
  $ sudo apt-get install munge

  (without the fix, the install fails because it attempts to start the
  service in the package's postinst.)

  on 14.04 LTS
  $ sudo apt-get install munge
  $ sudo /usr/sbin/create-munge-key
  $ sudo service restart munge

  (the service restart will fail if unfixed)

  Regression Potential
  ====================
  Patch is from the upstream author of munge, regressions introduced by the patch itself would have been seen there. Test packages were confirmed to address the issue. 

  Original bug report
  ===================
  Munge daemon does not start in ubuntu 14.04 beta.

  sudo service munge start
   * Starting MUNGE munged                                                 [fail]
  munged: Error: Logfile is insecure: group-writable permissions set on "/var/log"

  /var/log permissions are (I have not changed them in any way):
  drwxrwxr-x 13 root syslog 4,0K maali  4 06:40 log

  However, I can start munge manually by running "sudo munged -f", which
  runs the daemon despite warnings.
