Package: wwwconfig-common Version: 0.0.48 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
from postgres 8.X, the client (psql) use getpwuid_r to find the .dbpass-file, not the environment variable HOME as it used to in postgres 7.4. This breaks the part of pgsql.get in wwwconfig-common that creates a temporary HOME where a .dbpass is created (and removed). IMO it would be more elegant to use the PGPASSFILE environment variable than changing HOME anyway, so I have written and tested a patch that does this. - Werner diff -ruN wwwconfig-common-0.0.48.orig/pgsql.get wwwconfig-common-0.0.48/pgsql.get --- wwwconfig-common-0.0.48.orig/pgsql.get 2004-08-06 14:04:41.000000000 +0200 +++ wwwconfig-common-0.0.48/pgsql.get 2008-03-27 09:46:51.000000000 +0100 @@ -60,24 +60,23 @@ if [ -z "$hostopt" -a \( "$MYUID" = root -o "$UID" = "$user" \) ] && grep -q ^"$user": /etc/passwd ; then su -s /bin/sh $user -c "psql $hostopt $_psql_args" else - OLDHOME=$HOME - HOME=`mktemp -d` + PGPASSDIR=`mktemp -d` if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi - export HOME + PGPASSFILE=$PGPASSDIR/.pgpass + export PGPASSFILE if [ ! -z "$pass" ] ; then OLDUMASK=`umask` umask 077 - echo "*:*:*:$user:$pass" > $HOME/.pgpass + echo "*:*:*:$user:$pass" > $PGPASSFILE umask $OLDUMASK fi eval psql -U "$user" $hostopt $_psql_args - rm -rf "$HOME" - HOME=$OLDHOME + rm -rf "$PGPASSDIR" fi } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
