<id>urn:sha1:b4f9559537144a7158064ca67b7a4305f1c459df</id>
<content type='text'>
Related to the 2010-03-25 commit, 88d4b346,
"timeout: use more standard option parsing".
* src/nice.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options()
which is a helper for commands that don't have any
long options specific to them.
* src/chroot.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/nice-fail: Remove a case that now
passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the
--help and --version options.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Likewise.

<title>nice, nohup, su: detect write failure to stderr</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c59bb3cefff73c532033863e60e9130892a50dd</id>
<content type='text'>
These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to
exec'ing a subsidiary program.  However, if we thought the situation
warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed
without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk.

For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2&gt;/dev/full'.  Failure to raise
priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform
the user about failure to change priority is dangerous.

* src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message
to stderr fails.
* src/nohup.c (main): Likewise.
* src/su.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/nice: Test this.
* tests/misc/nohup: Likewise.
* NEWS: Document this.
