That sounds very reasonable. I'm only ashamed I didn't think of that myself.

I think /sbin should go on the end, to allow a sysadmin to call that
script from a shell with PATH=/usr/local/sbin:... and have tools in
/usr/local/sbin override the system ones. ssh's init script does this:
export PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}/usr/sbin:/sbin"

Bug#203305: /etc/init.d/distributed-net fails to stop dnetc if run from non-interactive shell
Package: distributed-net Version: 2.9001.478-2 Severity: minor Tags: patch /etc/init.d/distributed-net fails to stop the client if run from a non-interactive shell, e.g. if run from a cron job (where the client is only scheduled to run overnight, for example), then the output of: "/etc/init.d/distributed-net stop" will be "not running". This appears to be because the test for running command uses stop-start-daemon to check, which resides in /sbin which isn't in the path for non-interactive shells. So, a fix is to add: PATH=/sbin:$PATH ...before the "case" statement in /etc/init.d/distributed-net and a non-intrusive work-around is to change all calls to the script in cron or at jobs to: PATH=/sbin:$PATH /etc/init.d/distributed-net [start|stop] I'd have thought that the first option would be less intrusive for all debian users (since it doesn't require any special operation from anyone) but I'm not sure of any security / policy implications. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux Apu 2.4.21.dsc-u10.apu2.120703 #1 Sun Jul 13 01:06:55 BST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (ignored: LC_ALL set) Versions of packages distributed-net depends on: ii host 2331-9 utility for querying DNS servers ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
