[I'm starting to regret that I wanted to fix some simple
timeout-before-error issue :)]
I can add the comment, but I just realized that we can't ship it this
way. If someone has no authentication set up and the socket allowed
only for root (for example), the machine would be vulnerable after
update to the version with this libvirtd.socket. If, on the other
hand, we put here 0700 for example, lot of applications may stop
working, because they rely on authentication with 0777. And the
daemon can do chmod() on the socket *only* to more lax permissions
(not the other way around, as it would result in the same problem why
we needed to add the comment in the first place).
The solutions I came up with are:
- Have SocketMode=0700 and do chmod() in the daemon to adjust the
mode to permissions from the config file.
And the better one:
- Drop this whole socket starting stuff, because if there's a race,
it's a systemd's problem. We call sd_notify(0, "READY=1") when
everything is set up as systemd wants us to! I just discovered
that now.
