Hello hello on a late German Saturday night, (how dead am i if am working right now, pfffffh...) as addressed with Jürgen please find attached a "git am" update to Debian S-S-D as of today. Debian adds support for systemd notifications, which i disabled (with easily adjustable macro switch). Maybe, the only good thing of systemd in my opinion, but having daemons provide proper feedback to a supervisor would also be an option, and portable. Anyway. (I for one still cannot understand why no daemon simply provides a hook in equal and better spirit to Zoulas's of NetBSD blacklistd: i will never understand why i have to parse a log file to relearn things expensively that the daemon readily knew when writing the log entry. But i have to be silent, really...) Also, they discovered security threats regarding --pidfile (see the latest commit message in the attached patchset). This would not work out with how CRUX does it, and i am in favour of even thinking that the S-S-D code in question is too strict. I.e., the exim pidfile is root:mail, and 0644 (iirc), and this will be refused as a security threat. I think this is too strict, 0664 i would understand, but why should the group not be able to read the file? So this i have changed, for CRUX. Maybe someone with better social skills could even ask or report this upstream. Ciao, and thanks for all the efforts! Looking out for 3.5!!! (P.S.: how about throwing out exim and adding DMA to the default install? Don't mind...) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
