Package: ejabberd Version: 1.1.2-6 Severity: minor ejabberd's postinst script unconditionally changes the owner and permissions of /etc/ejabberd. I had used dpkg-statoverride to change the group to adm and allow members of that group to read and traverse the directory... it would be nice if that wasn't undone by the postinst script. :)
The script can check before running chown/chmod with something like this: if ! dpkg-statoverride --list /etc/ejabberd >/dev/null; then chown ejabberd:ejabberd /etc/ejabberd chmod 700 /etc/ejabberd fi -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages ejabberd depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii erlang-base 1:11.b.2-4 Concurrent, real-time, distributed ii erlang-nox 1:11.b.2-4 Concurrent, real-time, distributed ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii openssl 0.9.8c-4 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ucf 2.0020 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime ejabberd recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
