But now that it isn’t eval’ed that shouldn’t be an issue though right?

I was just kidding, I wouldn’t have a system where pgrep -c ^-s6 is greater than 100 otherwise

Didn’t realize, sometimes hard to notice jokes without smileys or emojis.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=opensysusers

Wow, opensysusers which is a software needed to process systemd sysusers.d files for non systemd distros is on Ubuntu, Kali, Debian, and Devuan. Of those the only one that makes sense is Devuan.😆

they uncritically adopted it from debian

which to be fair has some limited support for non systemd

I never expected something I wrote to get adopted like that. I figured it would only get used in Artix.

And the ironic part is we stopped using it and now use the one from systemd.😂

i see you’ve been bit by eval

yep, and learned the lesson, won’t happen again

wonder if they’ll use /etc/* on the GECOS field and call it a CVE

According to the specification /etc/* is a valid GECOS name.

Unless the specification itself opens up some CVE….

i meant, i don’t see set -f in the code, and theoretically™ this could happen
$ A=’/etc/pass*’
$ set — $A
$ echo “$@”
/etc/passwd /etc/passwd-

insert something more serious like user’s ssh keys or sudo timestamps

but now that it isn’t eval’ed that shouldn’t be an issue though right?

what is chronie and isn’t elogind only needed for bloated DEs

elogind is needed for user sessions, even just logging into a tty

chronie is a cron software…

i think he means chrony, the ntp client

globs are still eval’d in unquoted variables

you can try it in your shell

unless he meant cronie which would replace systemd timers

it’s fun, systemd’s got something to replace everything!

what did people use to login before elogind

oh ok

systemd handles cronjobs!?

yes, in pid 1

it’s not even a separate module

wow

gecos is loaded into a quoted variable though

before elogind another popular session handler was consolekit and consolekit2

$ A='”contrived /etc/pass* example”‘
$ set — $A
$ echo “$@”
“contrived /etc/passwd /etc/passwd- example”

why isn’t it used anymore

no bloated DE supports it anymore

because they died… no development for years…
