1 userv (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
3 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
4 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
5 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
6 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
7 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
8 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
9 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
13 userv (1.0.1) stable frozen unstable; urgency=high
15 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
16 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
17 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
18 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
20 Portability improvement:
21 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

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

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

68 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
71 * Document locations of required programs.
72 * Sort-of document debugging version.
74 Portability fixes for:
75 * md5sum with extra `-'.
76 * -lsocket required for socket().
77 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
78 * `logname' name clash.
79 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
80 * various required #include's were omitted.
81 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
83 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
84 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
85 * `dist' target in Makefile.
86 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
88 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.
89 * Updated email address to ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk throughout.

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

148 overwritten by parsing code).
149 * Fixed obscure race in process.c:getevent (et_closereadfd and hold fds).
150 * `builtin version' service had error message and errno string reserve

172 * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been
173 stolen, and exits if it has.
174 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
175 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.
176 * Don't delete spec.sgml.in in clean targets.

185 lexer.[lc], tokens.h, overview.ps. New totalclean target for
186 removing configure and config.h.in.
188 * Added <sys/types.h> and <errno.h> to lexer.l.m4.
189 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
190 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
191 problems with sizeof and size_t; EPROTO missing workaround.
192 * Note about SIG_IGN and `function declaration isn't a prototype' added
193 to INSTALL file in new PROBLEMS section.
