I cannot test it on openRC... but feel free to go ahead if it works for you Thanks |
The init script for vgl used "truncate" and "chmod" to create an empty file with mode 644: start() { ebegin "Starting VirtualGL" truncate --size=0 /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key ... xauth -f /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key add $DISPLAY . \ $(xauth -f $XAUTHORITY list | awk '{print $3;exit}') && \ chmod 644 /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key eend $? } A single call to "checkpath" from OpenRC (man openrc-run) would be more appropriate here. It's more portable, being part of OpenRC, and it's also more secure: truncate and chmod will follow symlinks, so if root:root ever loses full control of that path, somebody might be able to swap out that auth file for a symlink and gain root.
