Package: apt-dater
Version: 0.8.1+svn438-1
Severity: normal
Hi!
I tried to check what file transfer actual would be able to do but all
it gave me was an error message:
Cannot exec 'Fuchs,,,': No such file or directory
I don't think that this is what was thought about, maybe there is some
missing quoting involved... From strace (which then gave a completely
different error message that /var/run/screen/ wasn't 777 - I wouldn't
know why it should be) I found this line:
execve("/usr/bin/screen", ["/usr/bin/screen", "-S",
"apt-dater_(null)_remotehost.info_0", "-t", "Gerfried", "Fuchs,,,", "#",
"remotehost.info", "-c", "/home/rhonda/.config/apt-dater/screenrc",
"/usr/bin/mc", "/#sh:@remotehost.info:C/"], [/* 82 vars */]) = 0
It looks indeed like there are some quoting issues involved. getent
passwd rhonda give me:
rhonda:x:1000:1000:Gerfried Fuchs,,,:/home/rhonda:/bin/bash
I found this snippet in screen.c:
gchar *cmd = g_strdup_printf(SCREEN_BINARY"+-%sS+"SCREEN_SOCKPRE"%s_%s_%d"
\
"+-t+%s+-c+%s+",
detached ? "dm" : "",
n->ssh_user, n->hostname, n->ssh_port,
title,
cfg->screenrcfile);
I am not completely sure how the Realname fits into the title (is this
what the %m in the config means?), but I guess that g_strdup_printf sees
whitespace also as seperator? Or am I thinking into the wrong direction
here?
Hope you're able to track this down. I don't want to have to destroy my
gecos field. ;) Though, even when I try that, it wants to exec # which
obviously also fails. I also tried to set Title in
~/.config/apt-dater/apt-cater.conf to just %u or similar to no avail.
I guess the title has to get quoted completely for the usage here.
So long!
Rhonda
