Package: nss-updatedb
Version: 7-1.1
Severity: important
Hi there,
We have been using nss-updatedb on alioth (a slightly patched version to
temporarily work around a bug in nss-pgsql) and we have noticed that the
database updates are not atomic. We frequently get exim panicking that
it can't find a user it has just decided to suid to, or svn commits
failing, or that sort of thing.
I'd like to work with you to resolve this - my first thought is to
switch to writing files in a temporary subdirectory, and then move them
across - while that doesn't eliminate the race condition, it should
lessen it.
Take care,
