By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Francois Andriot 2014-10-04 14:40:52 CDT

Currently, the setuid files from tdelibs are:

/opt/trinity/bin/kpac_dhcp_helper
Not sure what this binary is used for, but it looks OK.


/opt/trinity/bin/fileshareset
Issue 1: this is a perl script. Under Linux, scripts (in any language) do not consider the setuid/setgid bits. Also under Linux, scripts must have read+execute permissions to be executable.
So, currently, this script is executable as root only under Linux.
Issue 2: this script seems a bit outdated. It has been removed from openSUSE-KDE3.


/opt/trinity/bin/start_tdeinit
Not sure why it's setuid in Trinity.
Under openSUSE KDE3, this binary exists but it is NOT setuid.


/opt/trinity/bin/kgrantpty
Under openSUSE KDE3, this binary is deleted during installation script, with the following comment:
# This is not needed on SUSE Linux! - Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de>
If this applies to all Linux distributions, we should make it conditionnal in cmake script.
