Package: sysvinit Version: 2.86.ds1-61 Severity: normal When looking at some etch->lenny upgrade diffs, noticed that while the sysvinit postinst creates a symlink from /etc/nologin to /var/run/initscripts/nologin, the first "shutdown" after the upgrade (or install) simply deletes the symlink.
sysvinit-2.86.ds1/src/paths.h: #define NOLOGIN "/etc/nologin" /* Stop user logging in. */ sysvinit-2.86.ds1/src/shutdown.c, shutdown(): unlink(NOLOGIN); (Maybe this should reopen Bug#191041 which introduced the use of /var/run, but that's from 2003 and archived... also, pam also looks at /etc/nologin directly, perhaps the symlink change should just be reverted?) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-61 Scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 2.0.30-2 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii sysv-rc 2.86.ds1-61 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.86.ds1-61 System-V-like utilities sysvinit recommends no packages. sysvinit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
