The invocation of a HOSTFILE command via the Pi-Star Remote facility leaves the system in a RW state for extended periods thereafter. Yes, the system
usually returns to an RO state
after a while, but the system can remain vulnerable for 10 minutes or more after such a command and runs the risk of getting stuck in RW mode indefinitely.
Suggest that an additional line to return the system to RO status be added to the pistar-remote script following the calls to load the host files:
Code: Select all
os.system(r'/bin/mount -o remount,rw /')
os.system(r'/usr/local/sbin/HostFilesUpdate.sh')
os.system(r'/bin/mount -o remount,ro /')
