Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.79
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/resolvconf
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
The /sbin/resolvconf shell script contains an unescaped ~* in a case statement
that results in a literal username lookup for "*". In some circumstances this
can cause a lot of log noise looking like this:
nslcd[1234]: [801ee1] <passwd="*"> request denied by validnames option
See also bug #825317 which covers the same issue in another package.
The attached patch should correct this problem.
