Jouni Malinen 02f52ab6f5 Use lchown() instead of chown() for self-created files
There is no need to allow symlink dereferencing in these cases where a
file (including directories and sockets) are created by the same
process, so use the safer lchown() variant to avoid leaving potential
windows for something external to replace the file before the chown()
call. The particular locations used here should not have write
permissions enabled for processes with less privileges, so this may not
be needed, but anyway, it is better to make these more restrictive
should there be cases where directory permissions are not as expected
for a good deployment.

file for more instructions.


This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See
README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or
hostapd/README) for more details.

Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to
earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a
subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build
configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin
builds).
