[rrd-developers] rrdcached possible bug

[Adrian-Ioan Vasile]

Hi all,

1. I found an apparent bug in the journaling system of rrdcached. When specifying a relative path (-j option) it would segfault when trying to read past journals (journal_init function).

So, for this reason, I added an extra check to journal_init before reading the directory, and, when parsing the command line options, to expand the relative path to an absolute path.

Here's the patch.

2. Why implement any security into rrdcached for the reason that only authorized hosts may connect to it via tcp/udp and this can be done with local tools such as iptables. 

Thanks for this great product,
Adrian-Ioan Vasile
