Package: hal
Version: 0.4.7-3sarge1
Severity: normal
README.Debian for package hal implies that to get fstab-sync rewriting
/etc/fstab it is enough to remove the '--drop-privileges' option from
the value of DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/default/hal. This is not enough.
Consulting the fstab-sync man page, and reversing the instructions in the
'DISABLING FSTAB-SYNC', I think a symlink is missing:
root# ln -s /usr/sbin/fstab-sync /etc/hal/device.d/50-fstab-sync.hal
root#
That's the end of this bug report, but I have a suggestion which worked
very well for me, which you might like to adopt:
fstab-sync can be made runnable *with* the '--drop-privileges' option by
running:
root# chgrp hal /usr/sbin/fstab-sync
root# chmod 4750 /usr/sbin/fstab-sync
root#
If you need more info, please let me know!
