DB2 sys-auth 3.0.0.27 released
Sun, 10 May 2009
Bugs fixed:
- Backups were failing because the forked child had a copy of the parent's file handles. The outcall request took a while, during which time having the handles open lead to backups unable to obtain exclusive access and failing.
- On Linux, use getgrouplist instead of getgrent. This means a Samba/winbind setup that doesn't advertise to the grent interface still gets the user's groups.
- Stop thread-unsafe behavior between fork and exec, this prevents hangs seen doing a large number of grants.
Changes:
- Debug now goes to /tmp/sys-auth.debug. Syslog is no longer used. Conf file/setting is the same as before, just 0/1 is no debug, 2+ is all debug.
