[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#1003867: Stopping puppet-master: "matching only on non-root pidfile /run/puppet/master.pid is insecure"

[Joril]

Package: puppet-master
Version: 5.5.10-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using sysvinit, trying to stop puppet-master results in this error:

# service puppet-master stop
[....] Stopping puppet masterstart-stop-daemon: matching only on 
non-root pidfile /run/puppet/master.pid is insecure
  failed!

The fix looks simple though, just adding "-u puppet" to the 
start-stop-daemon invocation:

  stop_puppet_master() {
-    start-stop-daemon --stop --retry TERM/10/KILL/5 --quiet --oknodo 
--pidfile "${PIDFILE}"
+    start-stop-daemon --stop --retry TERM/10/KILL/5 --quiet --oknodo 
--pidfile "${PIDFILE}" -u puppet
  }

  status_puppet_master() {
[/cut]

Many thanks for your time!
