This is a follow up to #21.
As I stated in the previous PR, there were some inconsistent behavior that could happen if a
.passwordfile were to be modified while the minidlna server was running. I concluded that the best way to fix this was to implement a solution for #2. Also, I fixed some bugs that remained in the previous PR.The current logic propagates any modification to a
.passwordfile to all files and directories under its influence, and also respects boundaries between upper and sub directories with different.passwordfiles. As far as I could test it seems to be working fine. However, more tests are very welcomed, specially in systems that usekqueueinstead ofinotifyas, although I implemented the logic for triggering the password update inmonitor_kqueue.c, I don't have a system compatible with it, so I couldn't test it.
