https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339443#c5 Johannes Meixner changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #5 from Johannes Meixner 2007-11-08 05:56:32 MST --- init 1 init 3 is sufficient to reproduce it. Therefore I thought it starts too early in the init process so that I added to /etc/init.d/hplip the line # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog smtp and did an "insserv hplip" so that it is now very late in the init process (in particular the "smtp" makes it very late): /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S12hplip /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S12hplip but this doesn't help. init 1 init 3 still results the files while in the running system rchplip stop rchplip start doesn't result the files. I have no idea what the reason might be. Currently I have too many bug reports so that I like to close this one as WONTFIX (the empty file doesn't cause any damage). Wolfgang, feel free to reopen it if you have an idea what the reason is. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339443#c7 --- Comment #7 from Johannes Meixner 2007-11-08 11:17:24 MST --- Hmmm... could there be a difference in the environment if init starts it or if a logged in root user starts it? Is there no home directory if init starts it? If yes, it seems to be clear why ~/.hplip/ gets created as /.hplip/ -- 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.

I like to set $HOME to something like /dev/null but I would need a /dev/null/ directory. Perhaps it is sufficient to set $HOME to /tmp/ (one more empty file in /tmp/ should not matter)? -- 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.
