I can confirm this is happening in disco.
I believe the issue is a conversion from sysv to systemd. The sysv script has
this bit:
if [ "x$RUN" != "xyes" ] ; then
log_failure_msg \
"$NAME disabled, please adjust the configuration to your needs " \
"and then set RUN to 'yes' in /etc/default/$NAME to enable it."
exit 0
fi
The RUN variable is defined in /etc/default/ipmidetectd and defaults to
"no", so, in a sysv-only system, that would just output the message
above and exit 0, without failing.
The systemd job, however, doesn't seem to account for that. It sources the
default file, but does nothing about the RUN
variable:root@disco-freeipmi:/var/log# cat
/lib/systemd/system/ipmidetectd.service
[Unit]
Description=IPMI Node Detection Monitoring Daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/ipmidetectd
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ipmidetectd $OPTIONS
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Therefore it tries to start, but without a valid configuration, fails.
