Re: [Jailkit-users] Jailkit error: install: no input file specified

[Richard Scott]

Hi,

I have a small update for users of distributions based on RHEL 7... I'm 
using Scientific Linux 7.1 as I was unable to get Jailkit RPM to work 
correctly until I rebuilt the RPM as root. This is normally a very bad 
idea, unless you totally trust the source you are building.

Anyway, the problem is that when Jailkit installes its binary files, it 
requires the SUID bit to be set on this: /usr/sbin/jk_chrootsh and if 
you build the RPM under the "makerpm" user as I previously suggested 
this attribute is not able to be set by the normal user and doesn't make 
it into the RPM. I don't yet know why, but for some reaosn Scientific 
Linux 6.x didn't object.

So, the only way I have been able to get the rpm build to wokr is to 
skip the parts that involve a dedicated user for building rpm's. I guess 
I could fix the jailkit.spec file to set this attribute on installation, 
but this was easier ;-)

So this is the new routine for creating this RPM:

# yum install @"development tools" rpmdevtools
# rpmdev-setuptree
# cd rpmbuild/SOURCES
# wget http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/jailkit-2.17.tar.bz2
# tar xjvpf jailkit-2.17.tar.bz2
# cd ..
# cp SOURCES/jailkit-2.17/extra/jailkit.spec SPECS/jailkit.spec
# sed -i s'/2.15/2.17/' SPECS/jailkit.spec
# sed -i s'/1.n247/1/' SPECS/jailkit.spec
# rpmbuild -ba SPECS/jailkit.spec
# yum install ~makerpm/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/jailkit-2.17-1.x86_64.rpm

Do all the above as the root user and you won't go far wrong.

Thanks,

Rich
