Hello list, long time no read. I've just submitted to the relevant Debian bug a patch against 1.1.7's rlm_sqlippool which indirects all the functions called from rlm_sql via lt_dlsym'd pointers. This prevents the symbol (in)visibility issue we are having here due to lack of support for RTLD_GLOBAL. Having now just flicked back a few months on the list, it seems the 1.1 tree is nearly finished in favour of the 2.0 tree, so I was wondering firstly if anyone wanted that patch against 1.1.7, or a version ported to 2.0.0 (although I'm not in a position to test a 2.0.0 version beyond it starting up OK). Further, both the 1.1.7 and 2.0.0 rlm_sqlippool modules output "database query error" when something goes wrong, and I think it'd be really handy to have it output the sql_error() result as well, since I just personally learnt the hard way that 1142 is MySQL for "permission error". The 1.1.7 rlm_sqlippool indirection patch is at [1], and a port to 2.0.0 should be pretty easy, and I'm happy to knock up a quick patch for the sql_error if the module owner doesn't have the time, although as I say I'm not in a position to test them.

It doesn't have a Debian bug open, but that might as easily mean no one is using the module to have noticed the issue. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE Very-later-year Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Pobox.com Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
