I demand that Udo Richter may or may not have written...

Not sure, but it's one of Reinhard Nissl's patches.

True. (Klaus?)

True, *but* it's still possible to overwrite files which are, quite properly,
owned by vdr.

Agreed again. My VDR builds have used a similar patch (attached) which
restricts where these files can be written for some time now; vdradmin
shouldn't have a problem with it.

vdr-xine users will find a commented-out O_EXCL in xineLib.c - you should
uncomment this and replace it with O_NOFOLLOW. (My package already has this
patch; the official Debian package will too.)

(We still need a send-snap-as-base64 version. Both vdr and vdr-xine will
require modification for this; when I last looked at this, I came to the
conclusion that a file _handle_ needs to be passed to the snapshot-creation
code.)
