Description of problem:

nscd performs 

  /* The preparations are done.  */
  execv ("/proc/self/exe", argv);

in connections.c without following the symlink and renaming itself to 'exe'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

nscd-2.5-34

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start nscd
  
Actual results:

nscd renames itself to 'exe'

Expected results:

nscd does not rename itself to 'exe' (as on Fedora 11)


Additional info:

A correct behaviour is found for example in nscd-2.10.1-2 on Fedora 11:

  /* The preparations are done.  */
#ifdef PATH_MAX
  char pathbuf[PATH_MAX];
#else
  char pathbuf[256];
#endif
  /* Try to exec the real nscd program so the process name (as reported
     in /proc/PID/status) will be 'nscd', but fall back to /proc/self/exe
     if readlink fails */
  ssize_t n = readlink ("/proc/self/exe", pathbuf, sizeof (pathbuf) - 1);
  if (n == -1)
    execv ("/proc/self/exe", argv);
  else
    {
      pathbuf[n] = '\0';
      execv (pathbuf, argv);
    }
