           Summary: ulogd -d does not close all fds
           Product: ulogd
           Version: SVN (please provide timestamp)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ulogd
        AssignedTo: netfilter-buglog at lists.netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: joant at cloudant.com
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


When calling the ulogd init script from another program (e.g. chef), any fds
being held open by the parent (other than stdin/out/err) are held open by
ulogd. In our environment, with flock being used to execute chef, ulogd holds
open the flock file /var/lock/chef-client.

The fix would be to ulogd.c, line 1222ff, something like:
      // close any open file descriptors
      for (i=getdtablesize();i>=0;--i)
        close(i);

or, if POSIX compliance is desired, use sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).
