We run policyd v1.81 as user/group policyd, chroot to an empty directory /var/empty/policyd/. But then policyd isn't able to resolve my MYSQLHOST hostname. If I use ip-address it works fine.
It complains: policyd: connecting to mysql database: policyd: mysql_real_connect(): Unknown MySQL server host 'mysqldserver.mydomain.net' (3) It seems it requires access to nscd's socket /var/run/nscd/socket, so if I bind mount this to /var/empty/policyd/var/run/nscd/socket, everything works fine. mount -o bind /var/run/nscd /var/empty/policyd/var/run/nscd Any ideas for how to avoid this ? I've tried putting a hosts file, resolv.conf and nsswitch into the chroot/etc, setting up a more complete chroot with dev/null, dev/random, to no avail.. -jf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
