init script needlessly 'su's, and non-superuser use fails ---------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-603 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-603 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: Improvement Components: Infrastructure Environment: Unix Reporter: Chad MILLER Priority: Trivial The init script runs 'su' if the COUCHDB_USER variable is set, but it doesn't need to if the script is already running as that user. Add an additional condition on that test, so that normal role users can start and stop the server. --- couchdb/etc/init/couchdb.tpl.in 2009-10-02 07:10:18.475913699 -0400 +++ couchdb/etc/init/couchdb.tpl.in 2009-10-02 07:22:22.711911041 -0400 @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ command="$command $COUCHDB_OPTIONS" fi mkdir -p "$RUN_DIR" - if test -n "$COUCHDB_USER"; then + if test -n "$COUCHDB_USER" -a "`id -u \"$COUCHDB_USER\" 2>&1`" != "`id -u`"; then chown $COUCHDB_USER "$RUN_DIR" if su $COUCHDB_USER -c "$command" > /dev/null; then return $SCRIPT_OK (Reported as bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/435484 ) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
