2010-06-21Add mkstemp64(). Also, check in the man page for the NOSYMLINKEXPPeter Seebach
feature.
2010-06-02Provide a hook to disable symlink "fixing".Peter Seebach
In fakechroot, which pseudo tries to match the functionality of, the default behavior when creating a symlink with an absolute target is to prepend the chroot path, so that underlying syscalls will get the right file. It is necessary to be able to disable this behavior to create target filesystems in some cases. To that end, support a new environment variable, PSEUDO_NOSYMLINKEXP, which disables that behavior.
2010-04-30Improve PSEUDO_DEBUG_FILE.Peter Seebach
The PSEUDO_DEBUG_FILE feature is enhanced, and is now also used by the pseudo server.
2010-04-30Miscellaneous cleanup.Peter Seebach
Address a couple of compiler warnings, add a couple of signals to the list of caught signals, etcetera.
2010-04-30Cleanup of pdb_historyPeter Seebach
pdb_history was overloaded as a delete function. Separated this out into a query-builder and a pair of functions to use it, which makes it cleaner.
2010-04-27Document PSEUDO_DEBUG_FILE.Peter Seebach
2010-04-27Fix -P in pseudolog.Peter Seebach
2010-04-27Fix link(), improve startup performance.Peter Seebach
Stop vacuuming the logs database under normal usage -- it's expensive and slow, and not useful. Make link(2) "correctly" (following Linux, rather than POSIX) link to a symlink rather than to the file the symlink links to.
2010-04-26Reduce race condition for unlinks.Peter Seebach
If multiple clients are active at once, the following could occur: * Client #1 unlinks file A * Client #2 creates file B, which reuses A's inode * Client #2 sends request to server * Client #1 sends request to server * Processing client #2's request creates a mismatch warning for file A/B. * Processing client #1's request creates a mismatch warning too. Note that this can happen even if Client #2 sends its request later, as there's no intrinsic guarantee of the order in which requests are processed; any SINGLE client is presumably executing operations in order, but multiple clients aren't. Fixing this in rmdir, unlink, and rename.
2010-04-26Report on deletions more carefully.Peter Seebach
2010-04-26Add sanity checkPeter Seebach
It is possible for the database to get out of sync with the filesystem. Detecting this after the fact can be hard. Provide a hook for requesting a check. Also merge in some LD_LIBRARY_PATH fixes.
2010-04-26Strip trailing / from chroot directory name before sending it to the server.Peter Seebach
2010-04-26Miscellaneous fixes:Peter Seebach
* Add lckpwdf/ulckpwdf to guts/README * Remove arguments from function pointer arguments. While in theory the compar function pointer has always taken "const struct dirent **", some systems (many) have declared it instead as taking "const void *". For now, just omit the types; a pointer to function taking unknown arguments is a compatible type, and we never call the functions, we just pass them to something else. * Handle readlinkat() on systems without *at functions * Fix pseudo_etc_file (spotted by "fortify") When O_CREAT can be a flag, 0600 mode is needed. While we're at it, remove a bogus dummy open. * Fix mkdtemp() Was returning the address of the internal buffer rather than the user-provided buffer. Also fixed a typo in an error message. * Don't call fgetgrent_r() with a null FILE *. * A couple of other typo-type fixes.
2010-04-26Update documentation for chroot, passwd functionality.Peter Seebach
2010-03-26Use NULL instead of 0Peter Seebach
Not that it changes anything, but by convention we like to use NULL, not 0, to express a null pointer.
2010-03-25initial chroot() supportPeter Seebach
Add chroot() and a large number of things needed to make it work. The list of intercepted calls is large but not exhaustive.
2010-03-24Prep for chroot handling:Peter Seebach
* Improve makewrappers handling of function pointer arguments. * Regenerate wrappers when makewrappers is touched. * Move path resolution from pseudo_client_op into wrapper functions. * Eliminate dependency on PATH_MAX. * Related cleanup, such as tracking CWD better, and using the tracked value for getcwd().
2010-03-17Document ^ specification in pseudolog -h output.Peter Seebach
2010-03-17Add -h option to pseudo.Peter Seebach
Add the -h (help) option to pseudo, and document -h for both pseudo and pseudolog.
2010-03-16Update: Fix some missing error checking (thanks to Laszlo Ersek forPeter Seebach
spotting these.) Check for failed calls to pseudo_prefix_path in a couple of places, handle failed open of pid file, and make pseudo_prefix_path robust in the case of a zero-length PSEUDO_PREFIX. Also, don't try to overwrite the contents of an environment variable anymore. (The amazing part? None of these have ever caused a failure.)
