can't restart auditd

[Cristian Falcas]

Hello list,

Because of this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973697, puppet can't do a restart for auditd:

Error: /Stage[main]/Auditd::Service/Service[auditd]: Failed to call refresh: Could not restart Service[auditd]: Execution of '/usr/bin/systemctl restart auditd' returned 4: Failed to issue method call: Operation refused, unit auditd.service may be requested by dependency only.

Can I fix this somehow? Can I choose which system to use to do the restart (service vs systemctl)?

Best regards,

Cristian Falcas

Take a look at :
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#service

You *should* be able to force the restart command with something like
this (untested) :

service { 'auditd':
restart => '/sbin/service auditd restart',
# ... all your other parameters ...
}
