I like Serge's solution to the problem. However, I think we should probably bring this question, generically, to the ubuntu-server@ and ubuntu-devel@ mailing lists, and get a policy defined for this behavior. In my opinion, we should give server administrators a smooth mechanism for making minor tweaks to daemon start options (such as libvirt and ssh), either using /etc/default/* or something in that vein. I certainly think there should be a cleaner mechanism for doing this than editing the dpkg-managed conffile /etc/init/*.conf.
I simply followed the lead defined in /etc/init/ssh.conf, when I commented in libvirt's upstart job about editing the exec line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708172 Title: service libvirt-bin start does not set KRB5_KTNAME as required -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
