Package: hostapd
Version: 2:2.10-22
Severity: minor

Greetings,

two things I noticed when looking into the hostapd package:

1. In the shipped init script, I spot in line 45:

| log_warning_msg "hostapd config not in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf -- please 
read /usr/share/doc/hostapd/NEWS.Debian.gz"

This file does not exist. Perhaps it did in the past and this is just
a leftover?

2. in /usr/share/doc/hostapd/README.Debian:

| To use the example as a template:
|   # zcat /usr/share/doc/hostapd/examples/hostapd.conf.gz > \
|         /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

That file is uncompressed, so it could be just

|  # cp /usr/share/doc/hostapd/examples/hostapd.conf \
|         /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Related, I'd suggest to chmod 600 that file - it may contain sensitive
information.

All the best,

    Christoph
