Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: important
When using BM to back-up MySQL databases, it uses the .my.cnf file in $HOME for
the password. If this file does not exist, BM creates it and populates it with
the password set in /etc/backup-manager.conf.
However, when run under cron, BM is run under a non-privileged user that has no
$HOME (or it's something like "/dev/null" or "/"). In that case, the .my.cnf is
created in "/" and left there, which is obviously a bad thing for a lot of
reasons.
I think the fix for this should be quite easy -- if the .my.cnf file does not
exist and is created by BM, then BM should also delete it after it's done with
it.
