Bugzilla Bug 116510

The patch breaks the ability to backup remote machines.

The additional directory created for security reasons is only created locally,
but not promoted to the remote machine.

The error looks like this:

I just ran into this bug and am looking into a patch for it. I see the metadata
for this package lists mholzer. Are you still maintaining this package (as this
bug is assigned to maintainer-needed) or can I take it over? This bug has been
haunting my remote backups for a while and I finally have time to look into a
fix.

Created an attachment (id=86773) [details]
flexbackup-1.2.1-secure-tempfile.patch

This is a replacement for flexbackup-1.2.1-CAN-2005-2965.patch that fixes the
issues with remote backup.

In CVS, thanks.
