Package: udev Version: 0.114-2 Severity: normal
udevd parse_config_file() in udev_config.c attempts to parse udev.conf, which is a shell script, read by init.d/udev, for example, via: if [ -e /etc/udev/udev.conf ]; then . /etc/udev/udev.conf fi and as such it may legitimately contain shell constructs which throw off the attempted parse. (for example, I want to set udev_root to something else than /dev IF /dev is already occupied by some other mount, such as a devfs or tmpfs, as I have to test all environments and all kernels). The appropriate mechanism is that the daemon use command line options to set whatever it wants to parse from there, and the init script use those optons after having parsed the conf file via SHELL. For example, I've added a --root option to the daemon easily enough. Ask me about it if you would like to see the patch.
