--- Comment #15 from Vincent Untz
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.
