Package: zoneminder Version: 1.28.1-5 Followup-For: Bug #789327 Dear Dmitry Smirnov,
> I'm not sure how this problem could possibly qualify for severity "important". I'm new on reporting bugs, I'm sorry if it was wrongly classified. > Thank you. I see two ways to fix this problem: > A) "chgrp www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf" from postinst. > B) Add corresponding note to setup instructions in README.Debian. > The first approach "A" is easier but the second idea "B" encourage systems > administrator to review permission and ownership of the config file. > I presume that sysadmin should always verify access of the config file after > initial setup so perhaps that's why I forgot to mention that in the setup > instructions... As I have written previously I'm new on analyzing bugs. Actually this is my first bug report in which I have track a solution, so take my response as the one from a newbie. I understand your concern but I think that the permission should be on the postinst. Taking into account that this is a precompiled package the user should not be handling permissions from files he doesn't know what they do. The python scripts installed in the system also try to open a file with those permissions, so they expect that file with that owner group. I also encourage to put a note somewhere in the installatin to refer the user to read the README.Debian file to make it easier to configure it for the first time. I think this will make it easier for newer ZoneMinder users to use this package. Thank you for your time. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages zoneminder depends on: ii cakephp 2.6.4-1 ii init-system-helpers 1.23 ii javascript-common 11 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.39-1 ii libav-tools 6:11.4-2 ii libavcodec56 6:11.4-2 ii libavformat56 6:11.4-2 ii libavutil54 6:11.4-2 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.42.1-3 ii libdate-manip-perl 6.47-1 ii libdbd-mysql-perl 4.028-2+b1 ii libdevice-serialport-perl 1.04-3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:5.1.1-9 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.3-2 ii libgnutls-openssl27 3.3.15-6 ii libimage-info-perl 1.28-1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.4.0-7 ii libjs-jquery 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2 ii libjs-mootools 1.4.5~debian1-2.1 ii libjson-any-perl 1.38-1 ii libmime-lite-perl 3.030-2 ii libmime-tools-perl 5.505-1 ii libmysqlclient18 5.5.43-0+deb8u1 ii libnet-sftp-foreign-perl 1.77+dfsg-1 ii libpcre3 2:8.35-5 ii libphp-serialization-perl 0.34-1 ii libstdc++6 5.1.1-9 ii libswscale3 6:11.4-2 ii libsys-mmap-perl 0.17-1 ii liburi-encode-perl 1.0.1-1 ii libvlc5 2.2.1-2+b1 ii libwww-perl 6.08-1 ii mysql-client 5.5.43-0+deb8u1 ii mysql-client-5.5 [virtual-mysql-client] 5.5.43-0+deb8u1 ii perl 5.20.2-6 ii perl-modules [libmodule-load-conditional-perl] 5.20.2-6 ii php5-mysql 5.6.9+dfsg-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-8 ii rsyslog [system-log-daemon] 8.9.0-3 ii zip 3.0-10 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages zoneminder recommends: ii apache2 [httpd] 2.4.10-11 ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.6.9+dfsg-1 ii mysql-server 5.5.43-0+deb8u1 ii mysql-server-5.5 [virtual-mysql-server] 5.5.43-0+deb8u1 Versions of packages zoneminder suggests: pn fcgiwrap <none> ii logrotate 3.8.7-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/zm/zm.conf [Errno 13] Permiso denegado: u'/etc/zm/zm.conf' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
