--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Hi Darren Thank you for your reply. Yes, working configurations that still work after a missing identity_file are specifically provided are impacted. I think if someone specifies a file, it is expected to find it.. so let's change i to fatal? Re if a directory is specified, eg "my_dir" I think "Identity file my_dir not accessible: No such file." is still accurate isn't it? can use stat() to check if it is a file or dir, S_ISDIR etc, if really needed to give a secondary message to say: "Identity file my_dir not accessible: Is a directory." Other tools do handle correctly this situation: $ objdump -d missing_file objdump: 'missing_file': No such file $ objdump -d my_dir objdump: Warning: 'my_dir' is not an ordinary file Added it to my blog http://technoramauk.blogspot.com/2017/03/enoent-no-such-file-or-directory.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
