Issue #3261 has been reported by dancrossnyc. ---------------------------------------- Submit #3261: [PATCH] talkd: Find users for more than one talk request. http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3261
* Author: dancrossnyc * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Userland * Target version: Latest stable ---------------------------------------- talkd was written to use `utmpentry` from `who`, which caches the results of read the `utmpx` file. However, talkd is usually invoked from inetd `wait` mode; it's possible that a user might login after `talkd` starts; with the cached utmpx data, one can't `talk` to that user. Further, consumption of the utmp data nulls it out for subsequent requests. The result is that the first talk succeeds, but subsequent requests fail. The fix is to avoid using the `utmpentry` machinery, and just read `utmp` directly every time we need to. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-talkd-Find-users-in-more-than-one-talk-request.patch (4.78 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
