Looking at libgnomesu code, it looks like it supports both su and pam as privilege escalation methods. And, apparently, none of which can be used on the paranoid level.
Anyway, I wonder why, when getui() == 0, gnomesu doesn't just do an execv() ?!
I guess we could.
Either way, Vincent, do you this is worth showing an error window? I mean, gnomesu is rarely used via the command-line, so any error message should also be shown in a window...
On the other hand, libgnomesu seems to be lacking maintenance, and, without the supervision of someone knowledge of the code, I'm worried I might introduce some fatal bug in the process of adding an error window there.
If you write a patch, I'll review it. We're more or less upstream for gnomesu, now anyway (even though we don't use any real vcs for it, just our package). -- 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.
