[Bug 265102] Re: bacula not compiled with FORTIFY_SOURCE

2011-11-23 Thread Kern Sibbald
This ticket is a bit old. Could someone please try turning on fortify source with a current 5.2.x version and see if there is a problem. If there is I will fix it. That said, I still recommend against using fortify source, as I previously wrote, Bacula has all its own routines since 10 years

This looks like Bacula (bat) is blowing itself up with a segfault on purpose to get a dump. This usually happens after Bacula has detected an error in the bat.conf file. The only way to know exactly what is going on is to see what Bat has sent to stdout. -- You received this bug notification

It looks like the Bacula version has changed between LTS versions, and in the change, the Bacula catalog database changed format, so it has a new version number. Updating the Bacula catalog is done automatically in rpms, but probably not in .debs. You must apply an update script that you can

If Fortify source is turned of the problem *is* fixed and not simply hidden. The output indicates that that this crash is due to the fact that Bacula was built with -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2 (please check spelling). The glibc code that implements this feature according to the authors of the code may
