From 1e2281b8356d1935a129ddb199d71677f19a1619 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:00:29 -0400 Subject: minor compatibility fixes in utmp.h and fixing mismatch with paths.h the pathnames prefixed with /dev/null/ are guaranteed never to be valid. the previous use of /dev/null alone was mildly dangerous in that bad software might attempt to unlink the name when it found a non-regular file there and create a new file. --- include/paths.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/paths.h') diff --git a/include/paths.h b/include/paths.h index d0a5a6d6..e0d1fff1 100644 --- a/include/paths.h +++ b/include/paths.h @@ -27,9 +27,9 @@ #define _PATH_SHELLS "/etc/shells" #define _PATH_TTY "/dev/tty" #define _PATH_UNIX "/boot/vmlinux" -#define _PATH_UTMP "/var/run/utmp" +#define _PATH_UTMP "/dev/null/utmp" #define _PATH_VI "/usr/bin/vi" -#define _PATH_WTMP "/var/log/wtmp" +#define _PATH_WTMP "/dev/null/wtmp" #define _PATH_LASTLOG "/var/log/lastlog" #define _PATH_DEV "/dev/" -- cgit v1.2.1
