Description Neil Darlow 2010-07-03 20:20:04 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100611 SUSE/3.6.4-3.2 Firefox/3.6.4

Following a KDE LiveCD install nscd fails to start at boot.

Examination of the start failure indicates that /var/run/nscd does not exist.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system
2. Switch to virtual console and observe nscd startup failure status

Actual Results:  
The missing /var/run/nscd directory causes the nscd startup script to fail.

Expected Results:  
nscd should start.

I manually created, as root, /var/run/nscd and correct operation of nscd resulted.

Same problem on an 11.3RC2 system set up through network install. The specfile of package unscd marks /var/run/nscd with the "%ghost" attribute. Removing this attribute should fix it.
