I've been reading that for years. The objection has to do with X requiring root permission to function. That hasn't yet stopped it from working in 12.x or 13.x or Fedora or Mageia, though suid may be prerequisite.
That is a redherring. It should need root access to gain access to terminals and it should be suid.
And that is what it should do.
No having systemd with SUID root access....that is a HUGE problem.
It is for you because you have created the context where its a problem. Those of us that use XDM (etc...) don't have that problem because X is started by root :-) I've also commented on the relevance of /etc/permissions for setting the appropriate permissions on /usr/bin/X .... I'm beginning to wonder if your antagonism towards systemd has resulted in you breaking something realated to it and that is the source of your problems. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
