Description Stefan Brüns 2006-01-05 03:53:16 UTC 
The init script lacks a check if the iceccd can write to the log file. If /var/log/iceccd does not exist or is not writable, icecdd fails
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2006-01-09 14:38:39 UTC 
hmm, why would the init script not be able to write to it? you wouldn't start it as user, no?
Comment 2 Stefan Brüns 2006-01-09 23:27:46 UTC 
No, the init script does not try to write the log file, but iceccd tries to write the log file (at least tries to create/open rw), but iceccd is running as user icecream, and icecream is not allowed to create a file in /var/log/
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2006-01-10 08:10:15 UTC 
hmm, only forked subprocesses of iceccd run as user icecream, but it's possible they are the first to create a file. Now I understand
Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2006-03-02 17:40:35 UTC 
Stephan: the fix is in the init script, no change to code. The init script needs to make sure the file exists and is writeable by user icecream.

Submitted fixed package.
