Description Paul DeStefano 2006-12-11 23:31:58 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

Description of problem:
I think the file permissions on the DNS directory as distributed in the offical RPM is wrong.  Only root can see it or use it, so the httpd user cannot.

# ls -ld /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/
drwx------  4 root root 4096 Dec 11 13:10 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/

I would have downloaded the source RPM to check the spec file, but that was not available over u2date channels, which is also odd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date --install perl-Net-DNS
2. perl -e 'use Net::DNS::Resolver ;'
3. su - <any non-root user>
4. perl -e 'use Net::DNS::Resolver ;'


Actual Results:
[root@<server>]# su - web -c "perl -e 'use Net::DNS::Resolver ;'"

Expected Results:
That command should run with no output, rc = 0;

[root@<server>]# perl -e 'use Net::DNS::Resolver ;' ; echo $?
0
[root@<server>]#

Comment 1 Paul DeStefano 2006-12-11 23:39:41 UTC 
Looks like subdirectories of DNS/ are also not set correctly.

.../Net/DNS
.../Net/DNS/RR
.../Net/DNS/Resolver
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2008-10-31 16:49:22 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-02-22 13:16:59 UTC 
The last planned update of RHEL-4 will be focused on performance and security bugs only. This should be fixed in next release.
