Description of problem: The /usr/libexec/chrony-helper script is not using the -r option of the read command, which means backslashes in the config file (e.g. in comments) are lost when the file is rewritten with the set-static-source command, and it could possibly lead to other issues (I wasn't able to identify any.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chrony-3.3-3.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo '# test \ test' >> /etc/chrony.conf 2. /usr/libexec/chrony-helper list-static-sources | /usr/libexec/chrony-helper set-static-sources 3. grep test.*comment /etc/chrony.conf Actual results: # test comment Expected results: # test\ comment Additional info:
There are other errors in the script reported by shellcheck. We should fix them where possible.
