Bug Description

For whatever reason, Eucalyptus tries, on start, to write a series of .properties files under /etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/conf. But, since we install the whole /etc/eucalyptus under 'root', and the cloud runs under 'eucalyptus', every single try fails with a 'permission denied'.

This does not seem to be serious (but I really do not know -- yet--), since Eucalyptus still seem to work.

Right... If those are supposed to be maintained by the user we should provide them in the package. If not, they should probably live in /var/lib/eucalyptus...

Adding eucalyptus upstream to the bug to get an explanation on what those files are supposed to contain; and answer previous comment question(s).
