Package: nfs-user-server
Version: 2.2beta47-25
Severity important
The NFS client within the Linux kernel passes the invalid value
"1million" in the usec field to request "server time", which should
map the a NULL argument to utimes(2). Without this patch most
nfs-accesses failed, and I got mad a few days before looking at the
source.
The client code (fs/nfs/nfs2xdr.c) has this
comment:
/*
* Passing the invalid value useconds=1000000 is a
* Sun convention for "set to current server time".
* It's needed to make permissions checks for the
* "touch" program across v2 mounts to Solaris and
* Irix boxes work correctly. See description of
* sattr in section 6.1 of "NFS Illustrated" by
* Brent Callaghan, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-32750-5
*/
The kernel nfs server handles the 1million value as a special case, so
let's do it here in the same way.
