| 690.1 | Have seen "very secure" /dev/null too ! | EEMELI::SYVANEN | Tero Syv�nen MCS @FNO 879-4567 | Thu May 11 1995 22:11 | 14 |

>>Anyone seen this problem - an " official " patch or ....
A customer of mine was also hit by this bug. I enabled audit
subsystem to log fchmod() and chmod() calls and it really turned
out that consoled was calling fchmod() and changed protection of
/dev/null to 754 !
I'm also *very* interested of an official patch.

| Hi,
Nowhere in the code do we do a chmod to 754 of any files, we do however chmod
to 777, 774 and 644 in various places. All our chmods are to do with log and
archive files (socket files too on OSF/1).
Do you happen to have /dev/null specified as a log or archive directory path for
any of your systems?
Cheers,
Phil

| 690.3 | See it here too... | KAOOSC::boivin | Moi, j'viens du nord! | Fri May 12 1995 13:33 | 9 |
| Good day,
I see the problem here too. I initially blamed DECinspect but the
problem is still occuring after changing Inspect's check of /dev/null.
I'm also interested in finding out who the culprit is (PCM or other)
and getting a patch...

| 690.4 | no redirect to /dev/null | MUNDIS::MBACHMANN | MAIK BACHMANN @MFR | Tue May 16 1995 08:26 | 37 |
| Hi Phil,
sorry, but I do not redirect logfile to /dev/null - even this
should not touch permissions on /dev/null.
This is very urgent - since we go into acceptance in 3 weeks
and cannot live with this behaviour. We think about cancelling PCM
in our product if we do not get a patch for it.
And it is definitely PCM who does changing the permissions.
Try this:
while true
do
ls -alt /dev/null
sleep 2
done
In the meantime call /sbin/init.d/consoled start
be sure the permissions of /dev/null are correct before starting.
If you can help , please do it - because it will cost us a lot of points
in aceptance if we can't get rid of this.
We will QAR this as well.
Feel free to contact me directly:

Thanks for your help - Maik

| 690.7 | Thats real good news - thanks | MUNDIS::MBACHMANN | MAIK BACHMANN @MFR | Wed May 17 1995 07:38 | 9 |
| Thanks a lot for the quick solution,
I will try it here in Munich.
When is the next "official" release planned ( layered products CDROM )?????
Thanks - Maik

| 690.8 | ASAP | ZEDAR::simon | Simon Jackson 830 x3879 | Wed May 17 1995 10:37 | 9 |
| Maik,
because this is really a maintainence release (plus a few new
bits) we are planning to submit when the major problems which the
kit is meant to fix are validated and the bugs reported are fixed.
We hope this will be in 2-3 weeks. Obviously then is is down to
when the CDROMS are generated for the platforms.
Cheers Simon...
