[chef] How to fix this 'set gid' problem?

[Anthony Kong < >]

Hi, 

I am using a chef cookcook to set up sensu client.

Here is the relevant part of my vagrant file:

  config.vm.provision "chef_zero" do |chef|

    chef.data_bags_path = "data_bags"

    chef.add_recipe 'sensu::default'

    chef.add_recipe 'sensu::client_service'

During vagrant up, I am getting a lot of error like this:

==> default: ================================================================================

==> default: Error executing action `restart` on resource 'service[sensu-client]'

==> default: ================================================================================

==> default:

==> default:

==> default: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed

==> default: ------------------------------------

==> default: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'

==> default: ---- Begin output of /etc/init.d/sensu-client restart ----

==> default: STDOUT: * Stopping sensu-client

==> default:    ...fail!

==> default:  * Starting sensu-client

==> default:    ...fail!

==> default: STDERR:

==> default: ---- End output of /etc/init.d/sensu-client restart ----

==> default: Ran /etc/init.d/sensu-client restart returned 1

If I run the command manually, it shows the root cause of the problem

:~$  /etc/init.d/sensu-client start

 * Starting sensu-client                                                                                     start-stop-daemon: unable to set gid to 999 (Operation not permitted)

                                                                                                      [fail]

999 is the group number of 'sensu' group

How can I fix this issue via chef cookbook?

Thanks, Tony
