Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libc6
Hi,
I was doing some testing of db files as sources of information for maps
(as in using 'db' in nsswitch.conf).
Checking to see how getent was getting the information, I straced and
saw:
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/var/lib/misc/passwd.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 4
I will not comment on the multiple openings of the DB file -- but it
does seem odd that 'DB_CONFIG' is repeatedly being open (or attempted to
be being opened).
Is that a configuration variable that has leaked out?
Thanks,
Anand
