[Bug 557177] Re: init: support mandatory arguments, or prevent starting of tasks without any arguments
With all due respect, this is more serious than a Wishlist item. A script that can be executed which will destroy a server's filesystem is a serious problem. I cannot think of any usage case where it would be preferable for a script to destroy the entire filesystem. Additionally, the script name of mounted-tmp would imply to any reasonable person that this script only affects the tmp directory. Having it fail to catch an error resulting in the destruction of the entire filesystem is simply not acceptable. This is the kind of thing that makes people look at linux and say it's not enterprise-ready. Please reconsider patching this flaw. -- init: support mandatory arguments, or prevent starting of tasks without any arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If we can't get anything more than a dismissive attitude from Mr. Remnant, Mark Shuttleworth might care about this bug.

Actually Bjorn, I know about this bug through Microsoft employees throwing it in my face. If you think Microsoft won't use this against Ubuntu (and/or Linux in general) you've got another thing coming. This is a bug that affects every Ubuntu user and system administrator out there. Being dismissive about a flaw which causes data loss is only going to further the anti-linux cause. I would be happy to let the guy do his job if he acknowledged that he was going to do it. Right now, I see the maintainer marking this as Invalid and Wishlist. If someone takes responsibility for fixing it, and acknowledges the seriousness of the problem, i'm done here. -- init: support mandatory arguments, or prevent starting of tasks without any arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
