------- Comment #5 from dmacvicar@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-12-12 03:35 MST -------
Comment #3 is incorrect.

Please forget about the applet. The applet is dumb. The real guilty here is a
binary the applet launches.

This binary is run by the user, but the bnary has the suid bit on (+s).

I think the bug could be that, HOME is defined in this case as the user's home,
but zypp still looks if the curl file is owned by root. I mean, this implies
zypp is not taking the case where a user runs a suid program linked to it.

Michal, can you please chown /home/mludvig/.curlrc to root but give permissions
to others to read?

I want:

mludvig@zofka:~> ls -l .curlrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root users 31 2006-12-12 14:33 .curlrc

and see if it works.
