Hi all: I understand that the new '-s' option for rrdcached will change the group ownership of the socket specified by -l following the -s argument, eg:
# rrdcached -s rrdcached -l unix:/tmp/rrdcached.socket would change the group ownership of the socket to group 'rrdcached'. However, if I specify -s without -l, I would expect the default socket created by rrdcached would have the ownership changed, like: # rrdcached -s rrdcached The default socket created is still owned by user 'root'. Is this considered a bug? Also, if you run the following as root: # rrdcached -s root -l unix:/tmp/rrdcached.socket the following block of code from rrd_daemon.c gets executed: 2544 if (sock->socket_group != (gid_t)-1) 2545 { 2546 if ( (chown(path, getuid(), sock->socket_group) != 0) || 2547 (chmod(path, (S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR|S_IXUSR | S_IRGRP|S_IWGRP)) != 0) ) 2548 { 2549 fprintf(stderr, "rrdcached: failed to set socket group permissions (%s)\n", strerror(errno)); 2550 } 2551 } So I believe there is some issue with the comparison. Finally, would people object to having a new option where you can change the user ownership of the socket?
