Description Tobias Scherer

root@micke:~# ls -l /var/log/univention/join.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19242 Jan 22 10:35 /var/log/univention/join.log

This is potentially bad, because the password of the user, who was used to join the server is logged in this file.

The logfile should only be readable for root. A better solution would be not to log the password at all.

Added 

touch /var/log/univention/join.log
chmod 640 /var/log/univention/join.log
chown root:adm /var/log/univention/join.log

to univention-join (and removed set -x from 45univention-join.inst, what caused the password in the join.log).

OK -> join.log is not world readable anymore
OK -> password is not logged anymore

Verified.
