You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hopefully this can trivially be corrected.

Seems the systemd service file for the kerberos portion of freeipa could
use a minor tweak.

When restarting the kerberos service, it (incorrectly) reports that the
default configured log file (/var/log/krb5kdc.log) is sending to a "read
only filesystem".  This is a misleading error, since the /var/log
directory by default -IS- writeable, but systemd is in fact preventing
the daemon from writing.  Why systemd can't inject itself
inappropriately and report that it's causing the trouble is another
conversation. ;) [not personally a systemd fan]


File:
=====
/lib/systemd/system/krb5-kdc.service

Command:
=====
service krb5-kdc restart

Error:
=====
krb5kdc[27833]: Couldn't open log file /var/log/krb5kdc.log: Read-only file system


Please make the following adjustment to the default systemd file.
=====
13c13
< ReadWriteDirectories=-/var/tmp /tmp /var/lib/krb5kdc -/var/run /run
---
> ReadWriteDirectories=-/var/tmp /tmp /var/lib/krb5kdc -/var/run /run /var/log


Thank you for all the help and support.  :)

Cheers,
