If the url info is present, a click on the UPnP device/service item will forward the user to the web interface of the respective device/service, e.g. of the router or media server." You can also check the following URL for information: http://frinring.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/ Who uses it? ------------------ - The KDE network:/ kio-slave from kdebase4-runtime package - Amarok Possibly more that I don't know of... Does it run as root? --------------------------- After checking "ps aux" output, YES: ~ > ps aux | ack cagibi root 9337 0.0 0.0 44916 3920 ? S 19:33 0:00 /usr/bin/cagibid If so why? -------------- I' m not really sure about this. I made some research but the only relevant thing I could find is from the URL I posted above: "the daemon as the only one interfacing to network regarding SSDP would run as system user with almost no rights, so exposing less of a risk" If anything more is required please let me know. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
