[SR-Users] kamailio_fifo

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

some more details about this...

In the past Kamailio used /tmp/ folder to create control fifo/socket
files. But it was labeled as security issue by several entities out
there (including debian project), because anyone can access the /tmp/
folder.

The standard/recommended place is /var/run/kamailio/ and the latest
version was updated to use it in order to close with the security
reports -- like with other applications, this folder is created by the
init.d script (/etc/init.d/kamailio, but I think that script is not
updated automatically if exists). The init.d script is available on
source tree, look inside pkg/kamailio/:

-
https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/pkg/kamailio/deb/debian/kamailio.init

If you run kamailio directly from command line, then you need to create
manually /var/run/kamailio

Cheers,
Daniel
