Dudorov >Organization: STE Infoteka >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-BETA i386 >Environment: Any FreeBSD system with 'pw' command >Description: When I as an ISP add new users with 'pw' command I initialize their home-dir through some skeleton directory containing f.e. Maildir and dot.qmail for their mailbox. It is very useful to set 'sunlnk' flag for Maildir components (new, cur, tmp) and 'schg' flag for .qmail file. But this flags are not sets when 'pw' copies skeleton to user home directory. >How-To-Repeat: Create some skeleton and set some flags for it's files and after that do 'pw user add' with this skeleton specified. All flags will be lost in new user home directory. >Fix: The next patch change the 'pw' in such a way that it preserve all the flags for files and directories inside skeleton directory while copiing them to user home directory. I also change one call to 'chown' to 'fchown' call, which can be some kind of optimization :-) =================================================================== diff -rubN pw/cpdir.c pw.new/cpdir.c --- pw/cpdir.c Fri Oct 10 13:23:30 1997 +++ pw.new/cpdir.c Thu Nov 19 11:10:10 1998 @@ -98,8 +98,9 @@ while ((b = read(infd, copybuf, 4096)) > 0) write(outfd, copybuf, b); close(infd); + fchown(outfd, uid, gid); + fchflags(outfd, st.st_flags); close(outfd); - chown(dst, uid, gid); } } } >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
