Hi Is there an option that I can use during the build to make bahamut more fhs compliant and if not can you just point in a direction to create a patch to make it fhs compliant? (Are all the file and directory options contained in a file?) Here is what I have already: diff -rupN bahamut-1.8.6.orig/include/config.h bahamut-1.8.6/include/config.h --- bahamut-1.8.6.orig/include/config.h 2008-10-10 19:52:21.000000000 +0200 +++ bahamut-1.8.6/include/config.h 2010-02-15 10:26:38.000000000 +0200 @@ -134,11 +134,13 @@ /* File names * the server will look for these files */ -#define MPATH "ircd.motd" -#define SMPATH "ircd.smotd" -#define LPATH "ircd.log" -#define PPATH "ircd.pid" -#define HPATH "opers.txt" +#define ETCDIR "/etc/ircd" +#define RUNDIR "/var/run/ircd" +#define MPATH ETCDIR "/ircd.motd" +#define SMPATH ETCDIR "ircd.smotd" +#define LPATH "/var/log/ircd/ircd.log" +#define PPATH RUNDIR "/ircd.pid" +#define HPATH ETCDIR "/opers.txt" /* Services Definitions */ diff -rupN bahamut-1.8.6.orig/src/ircd.c bahamut-1.8.6/src/ircd.c --- bahamut-1.8.6.orig/src/ircd.c 2009-03-04 04:11:01.000000000 +0200 +++ bahamut-1.8.6/src/ircd.c 2010-02-15 10:26:22.000000000 +0200 @@ -172,7 +172,7 @@ void s_die() #ifdef USE_SYSLOG (void) syslog(LOG_CRIT, "Server killed By SIGTERM"); #endif - ircsprintf(tmp, "%s/.maxclients", dpath); + ircsprintf(tmp, "/var/lib/ircd/.maxclients", dpath); fp=fopen(tmp, "w"); if(fp!=NULL) { @@ -769,7 +769,7 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) exit(0); } - ircsprintf(tmp, "%s/.maxclients", dpath); + ircsprintf(tmp, "/var/lib/ircd/.maxclients", dpath); mcsfp = fopen(tmp, "r"); if(mcsfp != NULL) { diff -rupN bahamut-1.8.6.orig/src/klines.c bahamut-1.8.6/src/klines.c --- bahamut-1.8.6.orig/src/klines.c 2008-10-10 19:52:21.000000000 +0200 +++ bahamut-1.8.6/src/klines.c 2010-02-15 10:26:22.000000000 +0200 @@ -471,7 +471,7 @@ klinestore_compact(void) journalcount = 0; /* open a compaction file to dump all active klines to */ - ircsnprintf(buf1, sizeof(buf1), "%s/.klines_c", dpath); + ircsnprintf(buf1, sizeof(buf1), "/var/lib/ircd/.klines_c", dpath); newfile = open(buf1, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0700); if (newfile < 0) { @@ -548,7 +548,7 @@ klinestore_init(int noreload) char buf1[1024]; FILE *jf; - ircsnprintf(journalfilename, sizeof(journalfilename), "%s/.klines", dpath); + ircsnprintf(journalfilename, sizeof(journalfilename), "/var/lib/ircd/.klines", dpath); if (journal >= 0) { diff -rupN bahamut-1.8.6.orig/src/s_serv.c bahamut-1.8.6/src/s_serv.c --- bahamut-1.8.6.orig/src/s_serv.c 2008-10-10 20:27:25.000000000 +0200 +++ bahamut-1.8.6/src/s_serv.c 2010-02-15 10:26:22.000000000 +0200 @@ -809,7 +809,7 @@ int send_lusers(aClient *cptr, aClient * char tmp[PATH_MAX]; last_stat_save = timeofday; - ircsprintf(tmp, "%s/.maxclients", dpath); + ircsprintf(tmp, "/var/lib/ircd/.maxclients", dpath); fp = fopen(tmp, "w"); if (fp != NULL) { Kind Regards, Bennie
