This is now fixed with avahi-0.6.10-1.FC5 / avahi-0.6.10-2.FC6 . avahi-0.6.10-1.FC5 has been pushed for fc5, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report. I think this bug can be closed now. And I also remembered to having fixed this upstram years ago. |
Description of problem: /var/run/avahi-daemon is created with permission 0750, but it should be 0755. This prevents access by ordinary users to the daemon's socket needed for the "simple protocol" used, for example, by the external nss-mdns project. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avahi-0.6.9-9.FC5.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ls -ld /var/run/avahi-daemon Actual results: drwxr-x--- 2 avahi avahi 4096 Jun 5 22:31 /var/run/avahi-daemon Expected results: drwxr-xr-x 2 avahi avahi 4096 Jun 5 22:31 /var/run/avahi-daemon Additional info: This fragment of the make_runtime_dir function in avahi-daemon/main.c demonstrates the intended permissions of the directory: if (mkdir(AVAHI_DAEMON_RUNTIME_DIR, 0755) < 0 && errno != EEXIST) { avahi_log_error("mkdir(\""AVAHI_DAEMON_RUNTIME_DIR"\"): %s", strerror(errno)); goto fail; } P.S. Any update to fix this problem should also update to avahi 0.6.10 since 0.6.9 is known to have security sensitive bugs.
