This release fixes an issue where reload (sighup) could cause unbound
to exit, because of permission acquisition changes inserted in 1.5.2.
Bug Fixes:
- - [bugzilla: 647 ] Fix #647 crash in 1.5.2 because pwd.db no longer
accessible after reload.
- - [bugzilla: 645 ] Fix #645 Portability to Solaris 10, use AF_LOCAL.
- - [bugzilla: 646 ] Fix #646 Portability to Solaris, -lrt for
getentropy_solaris.
- - Use the getrandom syscall introduced in Linux 3.17 (from Heiner
Kallweit).
With regard to the proposed getrandom syscall patch Brad Smith sent this
comment to me and the mailing list:
"The getentropy() code for Linux within the Unbound tree is old. The
upstream code from the OpenBSD tree has already dealt with using the
new system call 6 months ago. So Wouter just needs to re-sync with
the code from the OpenBSD tree."
Did you consider this? Or would it simply have caused too much
regression testing effort and you preferred a small extension for now?

I did not want portability failures. It would get silly with the fix
to an issue requiring another fix and so on. The getrandom code, and
also the unix-socket code (a recent change with nothing to do with the
getrandom code) are causing portability issues.
I sent a diff to Wouter to sync in those changes from upstream but
haven't heard anything back from him. I also attached the diff
here for you Heiner.
I'll pick it up for next version. Thanks for the diff
