[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 109434] Re: Installing a server for a game automatically auto-inits and runs every boot.

[Gerfried Fuchs]

  The recent update of the wesnoth-1.8-server package does contain a
partly fix for this: Unfortunately I didn't set stop symlinks for the
runlevels 2 through to 5 so the server will still get started upon
installation. Though, it won't get started anymore after a reboot.

 I'm uncertain if a fix for that really warrants yet another update, the
fix would be pretty small: Change the line with dh_installinit in
debian/rules to have the argument 'stop 20 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .' instead of
the missing 2 3 4 5.

 Sorry for being late, maybe this could go in through some proposed
update later on with the above mentioned small fix if it's too late for
now.

 Enjoy,
Rhonda

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tremulous-server

Summary:  Installing the means to start a server for an entertainment game automatically puts it into the /etc/rc* startup sequence, thereby potentially opening a large security hole.  This happens with little information to the end user, and should be _optional_ or offer a quick and easy way to see what is happening with the rc* startup sequences.

Affects:  tremulous-server, wesnoth-server to mention two.  I suspect there are more.
