[PATCH] Bug fix: chdir ("/") when daemonizing self.
by Richard W.M. Jones 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

This is quite a serious bug in the daemonization code. If we don't chdir, then an arbitrary directory can be held open. For example: # cd /tmp/foo # /etc/init.d/vhostmd start # pgrep vhostmd 19538 # ls -l /proc/19538/cwd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 9 07:20 /proc/19538/cwd -> /tmp/foo [This bug was identified by Dan Berrange] Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.

Time for version 0.4 ?
by Richard W.M. Jones 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

We've been shipping the bleeding edge HEAD of git in Fedora for quite a while, and only found one bug (the cwd problem -- see previous patch). I think it's time for 0.4, including the two outstanding patches ... don't you agree?
