Immediately after upgrading netscape-flash to net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.12.36-r1, the below began appearing in my syslog: Oct 20 17:24:08 quetzalcoatlus mountd[16753]: refused mount request from pteranodon.fahller.se for /home/buildmeister (/): not exported The library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so contains the string /home/buildmeister/flashfarm/buildmeister/flash10DotReleasesbuild-lnx/plugin/Release Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Export individual home directories from an nfs server. 2. Automount individual home directories using "* -fstype=nfs,rw nfs:/home/&" from a client with netscape-flash. 3. Upgrade to net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.12.36-r1 4. Visit flash-pestered web site. 5. Enjoy reading the syslog on the server. Actual Results: Oct 20 17:24:08 quetzalcoatlus mountd[16753]: refused mount request from pteranodon.fahller.se for /home/buildmeister (/): not exported Expected Results: Silence in syslog. netscape-flash has no business fiddling in any /home directory other than that of the user running it. This is the first 10.x of netscape-flash I've used, so I don't know if it was present in the -rc releases.
Sounds like a flash bug all right -- but not as bad as making outbound connections to send reports to its buildmeister ;) Assigning to flash ebuild maintainer, who can either report the bug upstream or ask you to do so.
This should probably be reported upstream. Adobe's bugtracker: http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/ If you don't want to, I can do it.
Good news, I think this may have gone away. I just checked the newly-released net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.22.87 and both the 32-bit and 64-bit binaries do not seem to include these paths: $ strings /opt/netscape/plugins32/libflashplayer.so | grep build _buildLoaderContext $ strings /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so | grep build _buildLoaderContext In previous version this would show /home/buildmeister.
