Package: schroot Version: 0.1.5-1 Severity: important When I upgraded to this version of schroot, it suddenly started modifying files inside the chroot without saying so. The man page documents the new run-parts mechanism, but doesn't say anything about the new scripts which modify /etc/passwd et cetera.
I was already taking care of this on my own, using FUSE to simulate bind mounts. As a result, writes to /chroot/etc/passwd also write to the system /etc/passwd. So the first time I ran schroot after upgrading, it created /etc/debian_chroot in my host, and clobbered passwd/group/shadow/resolv.conf. I had to reboot to single user mode to restore them from backup. This is extremely rude behavior, and I'm not real happy that it came in without any warning. Meanwhile, I am rearranging my setup to make the cloned copy read-only... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-rc6 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages schroot depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpam0g 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules l schroot recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
