1 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
4 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
5 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
6 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
7 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
8 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
9 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
10 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
11 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
12 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
15 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
16 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
17 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
18 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
19 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
21 Documentation and help improvements:
22 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
23 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
24 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
25 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
26 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
27 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
28 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
29 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
31 Debian packaging improvements:
32 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
33 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.
34 * init.d reload is noop, restart now called restart. Closes #70783.
35 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
36 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
37 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
38 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.
39 * Support unstripped binaries in the .deb, with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
40 * Fixed typo in debian/copyright.
41 * /etc/init.d/userv restart doesn't mind if not already running.
42 * debian/rules clean removes whole spec.html subdirectory.
43 * Ship spec.ps (Closes: #210859)
44 * Lintian override for suid /usr/bin/userv (Closes: #211055)
45 * Standards-Version 3.6.1.
46 * Corrected location of common licenses.
47 * Added -isp to dpkg-gencontrol.
48 (Thanks to Martin Pitt and Bas Zoetekouw's NMUs
49 for many inspirations and one-liners.)

55 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
56 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
57 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
58 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
60 Portability improvement:
61 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

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

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

108 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
110 INSTALL improvements:
111 * Document locations of required programs.
112 * Sort-of document debugging version.
114 Portability fixes for:
115 * md5sum with extra `-'.
116 * -lsocket required for socket().
117 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
118 * `logname' name clash.
119 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
120 * various required #include's were omitted.
121 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
123 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
124 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
125 * `dist' target in Makefile.
126 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
128 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

140 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
142 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
143 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
144 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
145 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
146 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
148 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
150 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
151 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
153 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
154 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
156 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
158 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
159 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
161 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
163 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
164 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
166 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
167 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
168 * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
171 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
173 * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.

187 * Save filename string in parse_file for error reporting (in case it is
188 overwritten by parsing code).
189 * Fixed obscure race in process.c:getevent (et_closereadfd and hold fds).
190 * `builtin version' service had error message and errno string reserve

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

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