--- Begin Message ---Package: molly-guard Version: 0.2.2-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The typical command I use to shutdown a computer is: shutdown -h now I've been doing this for a long time (possibly pre-linux), and it's the command string that my fingers remember automatically. This morning my son was being obnoxious and was not getting ready to go out, rather he was playing on his computer. I ssh'ed into his computer and typed "shutdown -h now" to shut it down. Except that I accidentally *really* ssh'd into my server, at a hosting center 30 km away, and shut it down. For real. Requiring me to drive all over town to get keys and cards and get into the hosting center and press the 'On' button. I actually had molly-guard installed on the computer in question, and I understood this was *exactly* the kind of scenario that molly-guard is intended to protect against. So I can't understand *why* molly-guard fails to intercept the "-h" option (i.e. "halt") to shutdown except to reason that someone has a mistaken belief that this is the "help" option. As a result, I am marking this grave :-) The fix is trivial, of course. If possible it would be nice to see the fix in Etch r1 also. Thanks, Andrew McMillan. PS. It's a great idea. In fact when my son (the one whose computer I was actually trying to shut downi here) was about 14 months old he was caught repeatedly pressing the "On/Off" switch on a client's server that he shouldn't have had access too, much like the original Molly. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (690, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-rc2-hippy (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=POSIX (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages molly-guard depends on: ii sysvinit 2.86.ds1-38 System-V-like init utilities molly-guard recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

(closes: #426107). Now only shutdown -c and * --help are passed through regardless. * Added --help option, which now prints a short molly-guard help message followed by the actual command's help output. * Now should also work in su/sudo sessions because it now checks whether the creator of the current tty/pts is sshd, rather than the brittle check for the environment. Thanks to Craig Small and Don Armstrong for their sparks of brilliance (closes: #425831). * Corrected a typo in the package description (closes: #408706). * Added --pretend-ssh option to facilitate testing.
