Package: klogd
Version: 1.5-6.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
in the init script of klogd a dd command is implemented:
# shovel /proc/kmsg to pipe readable by klogd user
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $kmsgpidfile --exec /bin/dd -b -m --
bs=1 if=/proc/kmsg of=$kmsgpipe
That command runs forever:
sid:~# ps ax|grep dd
2 ? S 0:00 [kthreadd]
2468 ? S 0:00 /bin/dd bs=1 if=/proc/kmsg of=/var/run/klogd/kmsg
probably b/c /proc/kmsg is empty:
sid:~# ls -l /proc/kmsg
-r-------- 1 root root 0 May 10 10:11 /proc/kmsg
even after a fresh reboot. If you think this is a bug in coreutils, feel
free to reassign.
H.
