Hi guys,

First apologies as this might be on the wrong list.

I'm hoping somebody can help me find the culprit of the file /etc/ldap.conf

Is Anaconda creating this, or is (theory) yum pulling this in?


I've tried some debugging via kickstart and syslog...

-snip-
%packages
-*
%post
ls -l /etc/ldap.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 Jul 14 14:33 /etc/ldap.conf
rpm -qf /etc/ldap.conf
file /etc/ldap.conf is not owned by any package

-snip-

so rpm was a bit useless there. The only real tracer bullets I find our openldap and nss_ldap rpms being installed via anaconda.log.

I can understand Anaconda needing ldap to enable the ldap related kickstart options but it would be nice to get a definitive answer on why the file appears.. and has some contents..


Many Thanks
Slinky

Hmm; if it's not part of the payload ('rpm -qf /etc/ldap.conf'),
then it's being created by a scriptlet.

Review:

rpm -q --scripts openldap

If you have multiple OpenLDAP RPMs, you may need to query each of
them in turn.

Actually, if file is not owned by any package - it may be created by
rpm's post installation script...

If it's not anaconda/yum, it's probably created by an rpm install script or trigger. First guess would be an ldap package: try

rpm -qia *ldap* --scripts --triggers | less +/ldap.conf

If that doesn't help, you'll have to scan all rpms:

rpm -qia --scripts --triggers | less +/ldap.conf

Other than that, it could be coming from a program or script file that is part of an rpm.
