 Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 6:03 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] nscd initscript fails to start |
 |
|
I have sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r2 installed (which evidently installed /etc/init.d/nscd) on an amd64 system. The nscd initscript fails with this error in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | Oct 15 12:52:22 localhost /etc/init.d/nscd[16796]: start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt
Oct 15 12:52:22 localhost /etc/init.d/nscd[16796]: start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/nscd died
Oct 15 12:52:22 localhost nscd: 16798 cannot stat() file `/var/db/passwd.db': No such file or directory
Oct 15 12:52:22 localhost nscd: 16798 cannot stat() file `/var/db/group.db': No such file or directory
Oct 15 12:52:22 localhost /etc/init.d/nscd[16784]: ERROR: nscd failed to start
|
Any debugging hints would be gratefully received.
[SOLVED] Both consolekit and nscd failed to start (see below) with errors from the start-stop-daemon of openrc . Yesterday I emerged openrc-0.11.5 and all is well with both. [/SOLVED]

| try to edit /etc/nscd.conf and comment all the passwd and group options, I don't think you are using them anyway |

I don't think I am, either. So I commented them out. Now I'm left with this in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | Oct 27 12:11:47 localhost /etc/init.d/nscd[2799]: start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt
Oct 27 12:11:47 localhost /etc/init.d/nscd[2799]: start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/nscd died
Oct 27 12:11:47 localhost /etc/init.d/nscd[2784]: ERROR: nscd failed to start |
Any ideas? |

ok, the warnings I had are gone. you have different problem.
have you tried to re-emerge glibc? my glibc version is 2.15-r3 on amd64
do you have exotic CFLAGS, etc?
have you tried revdep-rebuild?
what does nscd do, if you run directly from command-line? does it complain about some libraries? |

I re-emerged glibc-2.15-r3 on my amd64 system but this didn't help.
In /etc/make.conf for my Intel quad-core system: | Code: | | CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" |
I revdep-rebuild weekly when I emerge.
| Code: | # /usr/sbin/nscd
/usr/sbin/nscd: already running |
but rc-status shows nscd as stopped.
In fact, rc-status shows both nscd and consolekit as stopped even though /var/run has entries for both nscd and ConsoleKit.
In /var/log/rc.log:
| Code: | * Starting ConsoleKit daemon ...
* start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/var/run/ConsoleKit/pid'
[ !! ]
* ERROR: consolekit failed to start
...
* Starting Name Service Cache Daemon ...
* start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt
* start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/nscd died
[ !! ]
* ERROR: nscd failed to start
|
I have the stable version openrc-0.9.8.4 which provides start-stop-daemon.
Would emerging an unstable version be a solution to my consolekit and nscd problems? |

and is it really ruining, or is there only a stale pid file in /var/run ?
if it is not running, remove the pid file and try again
if it is running just kill it and try to run again

| Make sure NOT to have --background in the start-stop-daemon --start line. |
