             Bug #: 14282
           Summary: Make nss/nscd vardb use $(localstatedir)
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nscd
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: siddhesh@redhat.com
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Currently the vardb location is hard-coded in nss and nscd as /var/db. this
should ideally use $(localstatedir) so that an installation into a non-standard
path (especially nscd) does not tinker with the default installation.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Build glibc with a prefix other than /usr
2) make install
3) Run the nscd from the installation

Expected results:

nscd should generate its db files in the install prefix.

Actual Results:

nscd tries to generate and use the db files in /var/db/nscd:

[siddhesh@localhost glibc-sandbox ]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib:/lib64:/usr/lib64
sbin/nscd -d
Fri Jun 22 18:25:23 2012 - 16894: register trace file /etc/hosts for database
hosts
Fri Jun 22 18:25:23 2012 - 16894: register trace file /etc/resolv.conf for
database hosts
sbin/nscd: cannot access '/var/db/nscd/hosts'
