Package: zoneminder
Version: 1.25.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded from 1.24.2 recently, and streaming (live and
recorded) failed with errors in the log:
socket_sendto( /tmp/zms-562793s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory
I tracked this down to a socket that should
have been created by nph-zms, then ran this cgi
program under the shell with the arguments from
/var/log/apache/access.log. It didn't work,
and printed an error about authentication. I added
user=<username>&pass=<password> to the arguments, and the
nph-zms program streamed jpeg data.
I then reconfigured zoneminder to use "plain" instead of
"hashed" under AUTH_RELAY. That "fixed" the glitch, but
now the username and password information is included in
pages, and that seems dangerous to me.
I tried rebuilding from source, and noticed that the
configure script prints the following warnings; perhaps
they are part of the problem.
checking for gcrypt.h... yes
checking for gcry_check_version in -lgcrypt... no
configure: WARNING: libgcrypt.a is required for authenticated streaming - use
ZM_SSL_LIB option to select openssl instead
checking for MD5 in -lgnutls-openssl... no
configure: WARNING: gnutls-openssl.a is required for authenticated streaming -
use ZM_SSL_LIB option to select openssl instead
I was able to use this configuration option in the previous
version, as confirmed to me by apache access logs.
Thanks,
-neil
