Looking at the source code of SearchAndRescue as it came with the SuSE
CDs, I see that the binary is replaced with an script that does the
following:
#!/bin/sh
if yrecinfo >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
exec /usr/games/SearchAndRescue.bin $*
else
/usr/sbin/yiff
/usr/games/SearchAndRescue.bin $*
# This shuts down sane and safe, yshutdown can cause TIME_WAIT
# sockets hanging around:
/sbin/killproc /usr/sbin/yiff
#yshutdown
fi
And this indeed works. If I call manually (as user, not root)
"/usr/sbin/yiff" the server runs and the game doesn't complain.
However, calling "rcyiff start" (as I thought would be the correct way for
starting the yiff server) fails with "Starting yiff /dev/dsp: Cannot open
for playing." This could be because the system script does it as the user
"nobody", who can not start it:
startproc -u nobody $YIFF_BIN $PROGCFG
Now, I wonder why the script "rcyiff" does it that way?
