Package: trickle Version: 1.07-9 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi, some users may consider it beneficial to have a prepared init script for running the trickle daemon on startup. Personally I would even like a ready-to-use init script to be installed by default, but currently there seem to exist two issues with the current trickle package blocking this approach: 1) trickled should not run as user root - thus a (currently non-existing) "trickled" user would be necessary. 2) trickle(d)'s default socket location is /tmp/.trickled.sock. This is (as far as I understand it) not in line with the debian policy. It should probably be placed below /var/run. Thus maybe it would be just as helpful to provide a sample init script for everyone who needs to run trickled permanently. Attached you find an init script and the accompanying /etc/default/trickle file that could be used together as a clean startup solution for trickled. I would really appreciate it, if the trickle package would supply these two files as examples in its doc directory. What do you think about it? thanks for your time, Lars --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 Debian Release: 6.0 990 testing localhost --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =====================================-+-=================== libbsd0 (>= 0.0) | 0.2.0-1 libc6 (>= 2.3) | 2.11.2-7 libevent-1.4-2 (>= 1.4.11-stable) | 1.4.13-stable-1 Package's Recommends field is empty.
