Description Andy Hilker 2007-03-27 20:30:06 UTC 
If i use the defaults rundir /var/run, the start-dccifd will chown
/var/run from root:wheel to dcc:wheel. I think this is not useful
for other programs! Usually this directory should be owned by
root:wheel.

Sure I have altered my configuration to use /var/run/dcc/ instead,
but by default the port will "damage" the system. It would be nice,
if this can be avoided (for example by altering rc startscript and
default dcc config?).

Fix: 

several solutions, i do not know what is the best for all:

A) change rundir in makefile to /var/run/dcc and let it patch all following files (rc script, dcc_conf, ...)

B) fix the error where it comes from...
How-To-Repeat: Install dcc-dccd-1.3.50 from ports, activate dccifd in rc.conf and in /usr/local/dcc/dcc_conf ... or simply look at /usr/local/dcc/libexec/start-dccifd (line #183)

Is the attached patch okay?  I don't use this so please make sure it
doesn't break anything.

Comment 6 Tom McLaughlin 2007-08-27 01:52:27 UTC 
Can I get an approval on the patch attached to this PR?  Since I don't
use the port regularly I want to make sure I didn't break anything.
Thanks.

I sent an email to the port maintainer about this a couple of weeks ago 
after tracking down why after upgrading DCC on my boxes Sendmail 
wouldn't restart because it claimed to not be running (/var/run was now 
owned by dcc(!) so Sendmail's mailnull user couldn't write a PID file in 
/var/run).  I have not heard back.

I was about to file a PR about this, but some searching turned up this PR.


My configure_args line from the Makefile:

CONFIGURE_ARGS= --homedir=${PREFIX}/dcc --bindir=${PREFIX}/bin 
--mandir=${MANPREFIX}/man --with-rundir=/var/run/dcc


Other than there now being a ${MANPREFIX}, your patch is exactly what I 
came up with (change the configure args in the port Makefile so the run 
dir is /var/run/dcc and change the PID file location in the rc.d startup 
script to point to the new run directory), so I'll give it a personal 
thumbs up.  The port (dcc-dccd-1.3.50) builds and runs correctly, and 
the dcc_conf file is correctly generated with the updated run dir.


This simple issue has been unresolved for around 8 months now; what 
needs to be done to request a maintainer timeout and get the Makefile fixed?


Craig.
