Description Enrico Scholz 2005-12-23 10:39:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

* added support for a '-n' (do-not-fork) option so that 'atd' works
  better with advanced init methods like initng or minit

* daemon.c: initialized daemon_debug to zero; afais, this non-static
  variable will never be initialized and works only because of certain
  constraints in the environment (BSS section will be zeroed by default;
  can break with '-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss')


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

at-3.1.8-78_FC4

Comment 2 Jason Vas Dias 2006-01-12 21:53:40 UTC 
OK, I'll put this in the next release, whenever that is - I don't think this
"problem" is of sufficient importance to warrant a respin on its own account.
Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2006-08-23 12:28:04 UTC 
I put it in rawhide. I think it's not important for an update.
