If you don't want to depend on dbus then changing the Type to forking (and removing the -n option) seems best. The service already has the necessary PIDFile= line to be able to tell systemd which of its processes after forking is to be considered the main one. > I think you can still keep dbus based activation without Type=dbus and a > without a dependency on dbus, but you should ask the systemd maintainers > about that. If you leave the BusName= line intact, that provides the prerequisite for the systemd side of D-Bus system service activation. However, this seems to be irrelevant, because certmonger doesn't install anything in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services, so dbus-daemon will never try to service-activate it on-demand anyway; anything communicating with it over D-Bus is only going to work because the init system already started it. There appears to be an attempt to provide system service activation in http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-freeipa/certmonger.git/tree/systemd/org.fedorahosted.certmonger.service.in but (a) it isn't currently installed, (b) I think it may be starting the wrong binary (certmonger-session), and (c) it does not have the SystemdService key, so dbus-daemon would try to run it as a child process (via a setuid helper, dbus-daemon-launch-helper) instead of asking systemd to do it. Here is an example of a correct file for /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services with systemd integration: http://sources.debian.net/src/udisks2/2.1.3-5/data/org.freedesktop.UDisks2.service.in/ Regards, S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
