Improve error handling and return status codes in ipactl

2011-03-07T23:16:48+00:00

There are cases when ipactl returns success even when it fails. Plus,
when the error really is detected the status codes are not LSB
compliant. This may result in consequent issues.

This patch improves error handling in ipactl and adds LSB compliant
status codes. Namely:

0   program is running or service is OK
3   program is not running
4   program or service status is unknown

for "status" action. Status code 4 is issued when IPA is not
configured to distinguish this state from not running IPA.

For other actions, the following non-zero status codes are
implemented:

1   generic or unspecified error
2   invalid or excess argument(s)
4   user had insufficient privilege
6   program is not configured

Require ipactl be run as root to avoid a lot of misleading error msgs.

Trying to run ipactl as non-root results in a slew of bogus
error messages, some of which come because dirsrv can't read certain
files as the wrong user, some based on our handling of that fact.

Make sure all DS instances are managed by ipactl

Allow SASL/EXTERNAL authentication for the root user

2011-01-20T20:49:30+00:00

This gives the root user low privileges so that when anonymous searches are
denied the init scripts can still search the directory via ldapi to get the
list of serevices to start.

Let ipactl output errors to stderr

2011-01-18T15:04:29+00:00

Init scripts normally do not log to syslog, instead they write errors to the
stderr pipe. Do the same.

Add a way to print output from commands

2011-01-18T15:04:19+00:00

Instead pof always capturing the output, make it possible to let
it go to the standard output pipes.
Use this in ipactl to let init scripts show their output.

Execute /usr/bin/python directly instead of /usr/bin/env python

ticket 608

Change FreeIPA license to GPLv3+

2010-12-20T22:19:53+00:00

The changes include:
 * Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
 * Add GPLv3+ license text
 * Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
   mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think
