Hello,
I'm running cgit v1.2.3 on OpenBSD 6.8 with httpd and slowcgi. I'm
getting tons of log errors in the form:
Error reading owner-info for <REPOPATH>: No such file or directory
(2)
I've found this Stack Overflow question
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48450631/ which suggests that the
problem is with the call to getpwuid trying to access /etc/passwd:
if ((pwd = getpwuid(st.st_uid)) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error reading owner-info for %s: %s (%d)\n",
path->buf, strerror(errno), errno);
break;
}
@ https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/tree/scan-tree.c#n139
On OpenBSD, httpd runs in a chroot at /var/www, which would seem to
suggest why cgit would not be able to access /etc/passwd
In my cgitrc I have
enable-git-config=0
enable-index-owner=0
so that doesn't help.
Is there any way to prevent all these error logs? Currently this fills
up a log file about once an hour...
Thanks!

Without any changes to the code, if you set "repo.owner" (or
"gitweb.owner" if you have "enable-git-config" set) then this value will
be used and the loop that tries getpwuid() won't be entered.
I think it would be reasonable to provide a way to disable the "owner
from filesystem" code via cgitrc. It's probably meaningless in many
setups, for example with Gitolite, where all the repositories are owned
by a "git" user anyway.

Thank you John, this solved it!
