Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, there's still a major issue:

As the comment in params.h says, "The directory and its parent
directories must not be writable by anyone but root."  However, you set
the directory to /run/scanlogd/empty and then do:

# the rundir is used for chroot'ing scanlogd into before
# starting with portscan detections
umask 022
if [ ! -d $RDIR/empty ]; then
    mkdir -p $RDIR/empty
    chown -R scanlogd:nogroup $RDIR
fi

The "chown" breaks scanlogd's security hardening, and must be removed.

If you're not going to fix this now, then let's create a Debian bug for
it, so that it's not forgotten.  Will you, please?

Alexander

+    chown root:root $RDIR/empty
 fi

 case "$1" in

```

@Alexander: you ok with this change? It should be sufficient, shouldn't it?

Mike
