Package: psmisc
Version: 18-3
Severity: normal
Hello, recently the sg module on my system stuffed up a bit (open() calls to
/dev/sg5 never returned) so I went to remove it, however a bunch of
processes were using it.
I really don't know if fuser is just the messenger or if it's buggy, but
when I used fuser -km /dev/sg5 on my system it immediately killed every
login shell, sshd, gpm, inetd, squid, apache, and pppd, and would have gone
after init had it responded to SIGKILL.
I checked fuser -mv /dev/sg5 after the fact and to my surprise the list of
things using /dev/sg5 was a bit larger than I originally thought. Checking
it again, we see that even the current copy of 'bug' is in there.
frantica:~$ fuser -mv /dev/sg5

Package: fuser
Version: 21.7
fuser was completely re-written in this version, which was released
years ago. I just never noticed this bug and what it was, sorry for
the delay but it would of been fixed a while ago now.
