Hi,
I have just posted Dazuko 2.0.5-pre1. Aside from supporting the new
changes to the LSM interface for Linux 2.6.10, it also includes many of
the FreeBSD features ported to Linux 2.2/2.4. These include dup() and
dup2() support and handling the "link problem" issue.
With dup/dup2 support, this means that events such as:
echo "Hello, world!" > test.txt
will now be correctly detected (with OPEN and CLOSE events). The "link
problem" is as follows:
- Dazuko is watching /tmp/
- /tmp/file1 is a link to an unwatched file (for example, /var/file2)
- when /tmp/file1 was open/closed, Dazuko did not notice (because it was
actually /var/file2 that was modified)
This problem has been fixed for FreeBSD 4/5 (since 2.0.4) and Linux
2.2/2.4 (as of this pre-release) but still exists for Linux 2.6 and
Linux/RSBAC.
Something else that is making me crazy is the list of open files. There
are files that are being opened, but Dazuko does not see when they are
closed. This causes a "hash-list leak" in Dazuko, which over time makes
Dazuko very slow. This has already been observed and reported by some
users. This problem exists for Linux 2.2/2.4 and FreeBSD 4/5. I have a
couple ideas about what might be going on, but I need to sit down and
just work through it.
