[FIXED] opn-arp service startup issue

[vinfra-dude]

after upgrade to 23.1.8 and rebooting the opnsense device, i saw the error message that opnarp service could not start..

exact error message:

Code Select Expand


/usr/local/etc/rc.freebsd: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/opnarp: Permission denied


logged in as root user and checked the file permissions and found that it had 644 as opposed to 755

ran the following commands to address the service start and startup issues

Code Select Expand


chmod +x opnarp
service opnarp stop
service opnarp start


Note: service stop command was done for posterity as in some instances service appears to be running with a PID file associated even if it doesnt have execute permissions.

seems like the same issue as in https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=32350
I just had to redo the +x, as it seems to be broken with every FW-update.

is this a known issue?
can it be fixed?

Thanks - just ran into the same issue.

It certainly can be fixed, but would need to be done by @mimugmail as maintainer of the OPNsense community repo.

I've posted a bug at https://github.com/mimugmail/opn-repo/issues/173
