Hello mentors, I would like to ask the following: really nice gtk-php app which deserves to be included in debian: http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig/ pptpconfig needs a php interpreter built with --enable-pcntl (it calls functions like: pcntl_signal(), pcntl_wifexited(), pcntl_wexitstatus(), pcntl_wifsignaled(), pcntl_wtermsig(), pcntl_wifstopped(), pcntl_wstopsig() for process signalling). OK it installs another interpreter with pcntl support enabled and uses it as well. Works well. Now if pptpconfig wants to hit the official debian archive the following options occur: * things remain the way thay are now - with another php interpreter with pcntl support installed * enable pcntl support in the official debian php packages - I have been told that it is insecure for serving web content. What are the exact reasons behind that ? * figure out a way to replace the current process signalling without using pcntl_* functions, but the support enabled in the official debian php packages. Unfortunately looking at php docs it seems not to be possible. What is the best way to resolv the situation ? Thanks. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <danchev.fccf.net/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB
