Description

oddjob is a D-Bus service which performs particular tasks for clients that connect to it and issue requests over the system message bus. Each task is run by a helper started by the oddjobd daemon under a configurable set of access controls, so unprivileged clients can trigger specific privileged operations without being granted broad privileges.

FreeIPA uses oddjob to run privileged server-side helpers (AD trust setup, SID configuration and replica connection checks).

Message after installing

oddjob installed a D-Bus system policy.  Reload the system message bus so
oddjobd is allowed to claim its bus name:

	service dbus reload

To run the daemon standalone (FreeIPA starts it for you via ipactl):

	sysrc oddjobd_enable=YES
	service oddjobd start
