[Bug 257093] [NEW] tmpreaper should automatically avoid /tmp/aquota.{user, group}

2008-08-11 Thread Steven Black
Public bug reported: The old quota file format used quota.* names. These names have explicit protection in tmpreaper's /etc/cron.daily file. However, the new quota files have a different name. They're named aquota.*. These are just as important as the older quota-prefixed files. ** Affects: tmpr

[Bug 234409] [NEW] friendly-recovery violates the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

2008-05-23 Thread Steven Black
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: friendly-recovery friendly-recovery uses files in /usr, but runs in single-user mode. This is a violation of the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, which states that "The contents of the root filesystem must be adequate to boot, restore, recover, and/o

My preference: Instead of /usr/share, the recovery menu logic moves to /lib. Either whiptail needs to also move to /bin, or you need to fall-back to a shell-based solution if whiptail is unavailable (such as the partition not available). -- friendly-recovery violates the Linux Filesystem Hierarc

2008-05-23 Thread Steven Black
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: friendly-recovery It would be great if the recovery-menu project could add a static- compiled stub that tries to run the recovery-menu with bash, and if that fails it would try to fall back to a known static-compiled shell (such as sash, busybox-static, o

I wanted to add that when sash is purged, it does not remove the sashroot account. -- However the shell gets changed to bash. This means that if packages are being monitored by regular daily reports pulled from a dpkg -l list, you can get around this showing up in logs by installing sash and immed

I ran across this bug report when I was experiencing a very similar problem -- one which I think Adam may be experiencing. Adam, is it really crashing randomly, or does it reliably crash when you try to save the game? When it crashed via saving the game, it will likely leave a save-file around whi

It looks like wiki.t-o-m-e.net is currently off-line. Worst case this patch should be easy to recreate. There's a buffer overflow in the save-game logic. Since it only happened saving the game, and most folks save the game before they quit, folks never noticed the buffer overflow... until Valgrin

Okay. I'm not sure how similar this is to the original patch, but the following three line patch takes care of the issue. There may be some other consequence of this. I didn't increase the buffer so it is getting truncated, but I don't see it. I'm just using strncpy instead of strcpy to make sure
