0003-Ticket-47303-start-stop-restart-dirsrv-scripts-shoul.patch

When I run start-dirsrv(without your fix) from a random directory, it looks for all the files in the current directory. Its seems to be very broken.

[root@localhost BUILD]# start-dirsrv
Starting instance "*"
Instance config.h not found.

[root@localhost ds]# start-dirsrv
Starting instance "*"
Instance 0001-Ticket-332-Fix-usage-in-scripts.patch not found.

[root@localhost ds]# ls
0001-Ticket-332-Fix-usage-in-scripts.patch
...
...

With your fix:

[root@localhost BUILD]# start-dirsrv
No instances found in /root/.dirsrv

Yep, looks like this is broken, if you do a su to root (not su - root):
{{{

su
Password:

sh -x sbin/start-dirsrv

• '[' rich = root ']'
• initconfig_dir=/root/.dirsrv

echo $USER

rich

echo $HOME

/root

id

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
}}}
So once again, foiled by depending on the value of $USER to be correct. Working on a patch to use id instead

Note that if you do su - root instead of just a plain "su" the $USER is set correct to root, but we cannot rely on that

The
{{{
No instances found in /root/.dirsrv
}}}
is fixed in https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47299
