Bug ID: 91000
Summary: Syncevolution fails if /home not readable
Product: SyncEvolution
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: SyncEvolution
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Note: version 1.5.1
If syncevolution has never been run before (or ~/.config/syncevolution is
removed), it fails if all the directories in the $HOME path are not world
readable.
Error displayed is:
[ERROR] /home: Permission denied
To reproduce:
As root:
chmod o=x /home
As user:
rm -rf ~/.config/syncevolution
syncevolution --daemon=no --configure --template none username= password=
printChanges=1 loglevel=4 Exchange@FilesMaster
Here is an strace extract showing the case when /home is readable:
.
.
.
access("/home/cobb/.config/syncevolution/config.ini", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
access("/home/cobb/.config/syncevolution/filesmaster/config.ini", F_OK) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/home/cobb/.config/syncevolution/filesmaster/peers/exchange/config.ini",
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/cobb/.config/syncevolution/.internal.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
access("/home", R_OK|X_OK) = 0
access("/home/cobb", R_OK|X_OK) = 0
access("/home/cobb/.config", R_OK|X_OK) = 0
access("/home/cobb/.config/syncevolution", R_OK|W_OK|X_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
mkdir("/home/cobb/.config/syncevolution", 0700) = 0
.
.
.
The "access("/home", R_OK|X_OK)" fails if /home is executable but not readable.
