I'm preparing a Debian package for portslave, and portslave has a script
(radinit) that needs to be run every time the system is booted to change the
RADIUS session ID.
The default location for this script is /etc/rc.boot. Lintian, however,
complains:
E: portslave: package-installs-into-etc-rc.boot etc/rc.boot/radinit
N:
N: The package installs files in the /etc/rc.boot directory, which is
N: obsolete. See rc.boot(5) for details.
N:
The Debian Policy manual, section 3.3.2, it states:
The start, stop, restart, and force-reload options must be supported by all
scripts in /etc/init.d, the reload option is optional.
Well, there's nothing this script does to actually START or STOP anything,
and there's nothing to RELOAD or RESTART... It simply changes contents of
/var/log/radsession.id.
Where is the proper place to put this init script?
Also... on a related note, where would the the proper place to put the
radsession.id file? I'm thinking /var/log doesn't seem right. Would it
make sense to create /var/portslave or keep that file in /var/run or
something?
Thanks for any help!
