Package: xen-tools Version: 3.9-4+lenny1 Severity: normal Hi,
I think I have discovered a bug in xen-tools. I have a custom /etc/profile that insures one thing : root user have umask 077. When I whant to crate a new VM by using xen-tools, I start a tiny bash script from my root shell (with 077 umask) tha do some varaibles setting and finally start te following : xen-create-image --hostname $vmname --ip $vmip --memory $3 --partitions $4 No erros in logs file, everything seems fine. I start the VM without any problems but some apps have a strange behavior like : lpouzenc@sdfsvn1:~$ ping localhost ping: unknown host localhost This behavior is related to rights of the hosts file : lpouzenc@sdfsvn1:~$ ls -l /etc/hosts -rw------- 1 root root 511 mar 25 15:09 /etc/hosts Next, if I do a chmod 755 /etc/hosts, everything works well. I think that the problem is around /usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d/50-setup-hostname script. Ths script do some echo "something" > /etc/hosts without umask preoccupations. There is may be some other scripts that are affected by this bad behavior and I don't have seen anything that fix the umask value before hooks execution.
