Template: tmpreaper/confignowexists
Type: note
_Description: tmpreaper can now be adjusted through /etc/tmpreaper.conf
Any local preferences for the daily tmpreaper run should now be configured
through /etc/tmpreaper.conf (explanation is in that file).
.
Previously, you had to modify /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper which could be a
pain because that got updated regularly, and you'd have to reimplement
your modifications (or miss out on the new changes). Now you can adjust
the file age, extra --protect patterns, and which directories to reap in
/etc/tmpreaper.conf.
.
For this to work, however, you must install the new
/etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper file this time.
Template: tmpreaper/TMPREAPER_TIME
Type: note
_Description: default value for TMPREAPER_TIME now set via /etc/default/rcS
Before, you could set the maximum age for files before they were removed
in /etc/tmpreaper.conf; however, there is another place where something
similar is set, namely the TMPTIME value in /etc/default/rcS which is used
during booting to clean out /tmp.
.
To avoid having to enter this value in two places, the new
/etc/tmpreaper.conf script now obtains the TMPTIME value from
/etc/default/rcS, and uses that (if it is greater than zero, that is).
.
You apparently have changed the default value in /etc/tmpreaper.conf; you
may want to check /etc/default/rcS to see if the value there is
acceptable, if you the upgrade procedure to replace your
/etc/tmpreaper.conf with the new version.
Template: tmpreaper/readsecurity
Type: note
_Description: Please first read README.security
Before running tmpreaper for the first time, please read the file
/usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz e.g. with zless. Therein is
contained a discussion of possible ways that usage of tmpreaper may be
insecure.
.
If after that you still want tmpreaper to run, please edit
/etc/tmpreaper.conf and remove the line:
.
echo "Please read /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz first.";
exit 0
Template: tmpreaper/readsecurity_upgrading
Type: note
_Description: Please first read README.security
Before running tmpreaper after this upgrade, please read the file
/usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz e.g. with zless. Therein is
contained a discussion of possible ways that usage of tmpreaper may be
insecure.
.
If during the upgrade the /etc/tmpreaper.conf file is replaced, and you
still want tmpreaper to run, please edit /etc/tmpreaper.conf and remove
the line:
.
echo "Please read /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz first.";
exit 0
