[Bug 300019] clamd fails silently at startup when /dev/ null is not writeable

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=300019#c1 --- Comment #1 from Reinhard Max <max@novell.com> 2007-09-03 12:43:41 MST --- There are two ways to fix this, and I am not sure which one to take: 1. if /dev/null can't be opened, don't close FDs 0..2, so that output continues to go to the tty from which clamd was started, so that clamd will work, but clutter the terminal. 2. if /dev/null can't be opened, error out, because a system with unusable /dev/null is broken anyways. I tend to go for option 2, but will discuss it with the clamav folks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
