Package: rstatd Version: 4.0.1-4 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
A machine running kernel 3.x an the rpc.rstatd does not reply to any
rup or rusers request from remote or even from local host. This
renders the package unusable.
In syslog I can see
rpc.rstatd: dummy function, should never be called!
The problem is in getdata.c, were a function get_diskXX is called
depending on the version of the kernel (e.g. get_disk24, get_disk26)
For a 3.X kernel no function is defined. The attached patch calls the
get_disk26 function for every 3.x kernel. This works nicely, since the
same interface is used for getting the disks statistics.
