Re: [vdr] [BUG] check terminal access

Hi, I think there is a bug in the RW access check for a terminal given with commandline option -t. The check is performed before VDR actualy switches his uid, so if the user which starts VDR has access rights and the effective vdr user doesn't have, the check is useless. In addition VDR should check the return value of freopen() when claiming the terminal later on.

The current code segfaults on the first terminal access (e.g. printf), if the effective vdr user doesn't have sufficient rights.

Can you please provide a tested patch against version 1.4.6 for this?
