> Updating Shibboleth SP by "yum update" changes owner:group and permissions of /var/{run,log}/shibboleth to the default (root:root and rwxrwxr-x) even if they already exist. Please preserve these permissions on updates if they already exist.
> I am running shibd with user "shibboleth".
> I am using those directories with following permissions:
> rwxrwxr-x root:shibboleth /var/log/shibboleth
> rwxrwxr-x root:shibboleth /var/run/shibboleth
> , and had troubles on every recent updates.
