Scott,

How do I go about filing a bug?  Do I need to request access via JIRA?  Although this would be more for future reference since you've pulled 3.4.1-5.amzn2023

Also I find that I was able to get shibd to start if I modify the systemd service file thusly:

===
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/shibd.service
[Unit]
Description=Shibboleth Service Provider Daemon
Documentation=https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SP3/Home
After=network-online.target
Before=httpd.service

[Service]
Type=forking
User=shibd
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/shibd -p /var/run/shibboleth/shibd.pid -f -w 30
StandardInput=null
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=journal
TimeoutStopSec=1m
TimeoutStartSec=5m
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
===

I make no claims to whether or not this file is optimal and I did not test it thoroughly (preferring to rollback to 3.4.1-1 instead).  Start/start does seem to work though with this configuration in my very limited testing.
