Well the bug is that on systems which do not run with the YAMA kernel patch(i.e. most non-ubuntu systems) the use of the debug file in the /tmp directory could result in extra unwanted data being appended to $random file(if /tmp/dhclient-script.debug is actually a symbolic link).
IMHO recording the debug output to syslog would be a better idea. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826672 Title: /tmp debug file sillyness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dhcp3/+bug/826672/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
