This is a bug caused by me if you installed the beanstalkd 1.4.6-1 rpm from the
EPEL repository. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608935
It has been fixed and is in the EPEL testing repo right now.
If anyone has a fedora account and wants to bump the karm and get this
pushed to stable faster please head over to
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/beanstalkd-1.4.6-2.el5 log in and
increase the karma.
The problem I introduced was an incorrect user (beanstalkd) creation.
The fix is to create the beanstalkd user correctly as follows:
useradd -r -m -c "beanstalkd user" -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/beanstalkd -g
beanstalkd beanstalkd
Running the above should create the appropriate beanstalkd user on your CentOS
system and then the init script will work correctly.
I apologize for the inconvenience,
