Bug 658716 – net-proxy/dante-1.4.1-r1 failed to start with user.unprivileged directive in config

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kernel 2018-06-22 06:29:25 UTC]

Ebuilds for dante 1.4.x comes with init.d template script dante-1.3.2-sockd-init, which contains this part:

DAEMON_UID=`sed -e '/^[ \t]*user[.]notprivileged[ \t]*:/{s/.*:[ \t]*//;q};d' /etc/socks/sockd.conf`

Man page for sockd.conf doesn't contain notprivileged directive anymore. So, this regexp failed to work for dante 1.4.x with "user.unprivileged" directive in config, and dante daemon - failed to start without correct TMPDIR directory.

Need to change "notprivileged" to "unprivileged" in init script and sample sockd.conf config.

Dante 1.4.1 config file parser contains both directives - "notprivileged" and "unprivileged" for same parameter.

Please retest against dante-1.4.3 due to major changes upstream & in the patch-set.
