Hi *,

there is an interesting problem with 2.1.6.1:

After upgrading from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6.1 the rwhod doesn't work
anymore. Or, to be more precisely, it can't create new files.

The permissions of /var/rwho are (as set by make world):

drwxrwxr-x  2 bin     daemon   512 Nov 28 07:49 rwho/

the files are deleted and when I start rwhod, I get:

Nov 28 09:12:35 4D:linkfix rwhod[5729]: whod.linkfix: Permission denied

When I change it to:

drwxrwxr-x  2 daemon  daemon   512 Nov 28 09:14 rwho/

it works. I have looked into rwhod.c and found that rwhod switches
to user daemon and group daemon so both /var/rwho should work...

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Andre
