Package: ant-phone
Version: 0.2.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Launching ant-phone on my system gives the following error message:
local bind: Operation not permitted
This program was possibly killed by accident on last run.
In this case, try running it with option -r.
Error at session init.
The problem is that all user home directories are in AFS, which inhibits the
creation of .ant-phone/.socket.
According to FHS chapter 5 on /var/run, "System programs that maintain
transient UNIX-domain sockets must place them in this directory."
I am attaching a patch that moves the socket into the /var/run/ant-phone
directory and introduces a group phone.
Every user who uses ant-phone has to be a member of the phone group to access
that directory and be able to create the socket.
