[Asterisk-bsd] Asterisk port and portupgrade

[Ian FREISLICH]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that when the asterisk
port is upgraded with portupgrade, the asterisk user is removed
from the dahdi group and not re-added. I'll re-check if port
correctly installs the asterisk user in the dahdi group (I don't
think it does, but I'm not sure now)

Hey Ian,

which asterisk port are you talking about? I just tried it with
net/asterisk and it does work. Before and after the update i have

uid=931(asterisk) gid=931(asterisk) groups=931(asterisk),843(dahdi)

I used portmaster though i do not think this should make a difference.

Cheers,
Florian

The server in question is 8.2-STABLE compiled on May 2, 2011. It
happened most recently when I manually upgraded from asterisk-1.6
to asterisk-1.8.3. The steps I performed were from an older ports
tree:

1. build asterisk-1.8.3
2. pkg_delete asterisk-addons asterisk-1.6
3. install asterisk-1.8.3

The dahdi group in /etc/group at this point dropped the asterisk
user. I manually added asterisk to the dahdi group. Then, I cvsuped
and cvs updated the ports tree to latest and did a portupgrade -vf
asterisk to upgrade to asterisk-1.8.4.2. After this completed, I
again had to add asterisk to the dahdi group in /etc/group.

Hi,

i cannot reproduce this. I just upgraded another server from 1.8.4.2 to
1.8.4.3 and after the upgrade i still have asterisk in the dahdi group:

flo at tb:~ 37 > id asterisk
uid=931(asterisk) gid=931(asterisk) groups=931(asterisk),843(dahdi)
flo at tb:~ 38 > grep dahdi /etc/group
dahdi:*:843:asterisk

Can you still reproduce this when upgrading to 1.8.4.3?

Cheers,
Florian

dahdi:*:843:asterisk

I had to downgrade to 1.6 because 1.8 doesn't seem to work with
FreePBX.

It's reproduceable for me in the following way:

[brane] ~ # grep dahdi /etc/group
dahdi:*:843:asterisk
[brane] ~ # portupgrade -rf asterisk16
...
===> Creating users and/or groups.
Using existing group `asterisk'.
Using existing group `dahdi'.
Using existing user `asterisk'.
Setting `asterisk' groups to `www,dahdi,dahdi'.
...
[brane] ~ # grep dahdi /etc/group
dahdi:*:843:

It claims to add asterisk to those groups, but it doesn't actually do it.

The same happens if I perform the following sequence to upgrade:

[brane] /usr/ports/net/asterisk16 # grep dahdi /etc/group
dahdi:*:843:asterisk
[brane] /usr/ports/net/asterisk16 # make
[brane] /usr/ports/net/asterisk16 # make deinstall
[brane] /usr/ports/net/asterisk16 # make install
[brane] /usr/ports/net/asterisk16 # grep dahdi /etc/group
dahdi:*:843:
