ZoneMinder Forums

Many programs in package ZoneMinder contain passwords to DBMS in plaintext. I have made a patch which allows to place them in a separate file zoneminder.conf. In the same file are ZM_DB_SERVER and ZM_DB_NAME is will allow to change these parameters without recompilation ZoneMinder.
The patch can be downloaded here: http://oskin.ru/zm/zm-1.19.5-config.patch.gz

How to use:
# cd zm-1.19.5
# zcat zm-1.19.5-config.patch.gz | patch -p1
# aclocal
# automake
# ./configure ......
...and so on...

P.S. It is one of stages of creation of a RPM package.

Thanks Oskin. I have started work on the same thing. I'll try your patch and merge it in if it doesn't conflict.

Cheers,

Phil
