parse the config file only once Don't have all the processes read gmid.conf. The parent needs to do that, and the will send the config to the children (already happening.) The other processes were reading the config anyway to figure out the user and the chroot (if enabled); make the parent pass additional flag to propagate that info. We dissociate a bit from the "usual" proc.c but it's a change worth having.


move print_conf and make it take the config as argument


use fatal/fatalx instead of err/errx in daemon code


parse_conf: don't die on error, return -1 this avoids having the daemon dieing on SIGHUP with a bad config file.


don't have the config being a global


move hosts into the config struct


move fastcgi from global var to the config struct while here also make them a list rather than a fixed-size array.


remove foreground / verbose from config set them as global vars; rename foreground -> debug


remove forgotten include of logger.h


move log_request to gmid.c so that ge can provide its own log_request without requiring a separate logger process.


move make_socket to config.c and make it private


rework the daemon to do fork+exec It uses the 'common' proc.c from various OpenBSD-daemons. gmid grew organically bit by bit and it was also the first place where I tried to implement privsep. It wasn't done very well, in fact the parent process (that retains root privileges) just fork()s a generation of servers, all sharing *exactly* the same address space. No good! Now, we fork() and re-exec() ourselves, so that each process has a fresh address space. Some features (require client ca for example) are temporarly disabled, will be fixed in subsequent commits. The "ge" program is also temporarly disabled as it needs tweaks to do privsep too.


absolutify the path to the pid file


switch to the more usual log.c


rename log.[ch] to logger.[ch]
