Package: hylafax-server Version: 2:4.3.1-7 Severity: important File: /etc/init.d/hylafax
*faxgetty* does not detach (dissassociate) from the terminal that invoked */etc/init.d/hylafax start*. This behavior is un-daemon-like and leads to the inscrutable situation that */etc/init.d/hylafax start* invoked at a *root* prompt will succeed. However, *gksu /etc/init.d/hylfax start* will fail. It will leave *faxq* and *hfaxd* running, but *faxgetty* will die when *gksu* dies. Perhaps *faxgetty* ought to be invoked with its -D option. Here's a patch against */etc/init.d/hylafax*: 21c21 < FAXGETTY=/usr/sbin/faxgetty --- > FAXGETTY="/usr/sbin/faxgetty -D" -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hylafax-server depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp [gs] 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii hylafax-client 2:4.3.1-7 Flexible client/server fax softwar ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libpam0g 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff-tools 3.8.2-7 TIFF manipulation and conversion t ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii metamail 2.7-52 implementation of MIME ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii sed 4.1.5-1 The GNU sed stream editor ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages hylafax-server recommends: ii metamail 2.7-52 implementation of MIME -- debconf information: hylafax-server/attachment: hylafax-server/start_now: true hylafax-server/setup_failed: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
