Follow-up Comment #4, bug #2880 (project savane):
I wont argue about /etc usage. I will be pretentious enough to know a bit
what is supposed to be in /etc for being using GNU/Linux since 1999.
Clearly, this membersh conffile is poorly documented. But you now, you are
getting here for free here. So you have to take it the way it comes. So keep
off the "What the fuck" and things will only do better. When you are asking
people to help you on their free time, the least you can do is not to take
everything for granted. I tell it you now because I'm getting irritated a
bit. Not that I dislike criticism, but when you obtain a libre software for
free, not via a vendor or a support business, you're a bit welcome to put
your hands into the mud when it does not work like it is supposed to.
While this conffile is poorly documented, I believe you would be able to
understand it meaning by looking at the content of the shell script itself.
And then, a comment saying "this conffile is not helpful, you should mention
*that* and *that*" would have been greatly appreciated.
So now I think I picture your problem: you tried to login sv_membersh with a
command that is not one of cvs/rsync/scp over ssh, didn't you?
Well, the "restricted shell" quite concise comment in fact means that it is
really a restricted shell, providing no more than what is mentioned in the
config file.
The main make config script should have said a word or two about that.
Understand that your requests are interesting, because what you do not
understand is what many others persons will not understand. And the overall
goal is to make the whole thing being understandable. So we have to take
those into account. But I would only be better if you were in fact also
trying to help, for instance by avoiding saying "fix this" every 15 lines.
I hope you dont take that personally and dont feel aggressed, but sometimes
it is necessary to clear up things. Otherwise, people tend to just ignore
each others to avoid clashes and nuisance.
