1 userv (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
3 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
7 userv (1.0.1) stable frozen unstable; urgency=high
9 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
10 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
11 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
12 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
14 Portability improvement:
15 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

36 userv (0.65.2) unstable; urgency=high
38 * In client, copy results from getpw* when necessary. This fixes what
39 could be a security problem on some platforms.
40 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
41 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.
42 * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in
43 `message' and `error' directives).

49 * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd.
50 * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC.
52 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
53 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
54 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
56 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

62 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
65 * Document locations of required programs.
66 * Sort-of document debugging version.
68 Portability fixes for:
69 * md5sum with extra `-'.
70 * -lsocket required for socket().
71 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
72 * `logname' name clash.
73 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
74 * various required #include's were omitted.
75 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
77 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
78 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
79 * `dist' target in Makefile.
80 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
82 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

94 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
96 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
97 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
98 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
99 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
100 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
102 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
104 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
105 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
107 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
108 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
110 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
112 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
113 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
115 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
117 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
118 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
120 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
121 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
122 * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
125 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
127 * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.

164 userv (0.56); urgency=medium
166 * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been
167 stolen, and exits if it has.
168 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
169 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.
170 * Don't delete spec.sgml.in in clean targets.

182 * Added <sys/types.h> and <errno.h> to lexer.l.m4.
183 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
184 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
185 problems with sizeof and size_t; EPROTO missing workaround.
186 * Note about SIG_IGN and `function declaration isn't a prototype' added
187 to INSTALL file in new PROBLEMS section.
