Hello, I'm not sure what's the news with this bug. It should be clear to anyone using gpm that every local user has access to its buffer.
I don't even believe this is a bug - but a feature: You can cat on one console as $foouser and paste on another console as $other use. You can open up a CVE or whatever for it, but it may not be appropriate. GPM is not bound to however is logged in - you can even use it, if you are *not* logged in at all - to for instance copy the bootmessages from tty1 to a logged in console on tty2. That said - if you really want the behaviour of gpm working only if a user is logged in, feel free to submit a patch against latest stable source code using a new parameter like --per-user-clipboard or --per-tty-clipboard (which would save you of another mapping table). Cheers, Nico p.s.: changed e-mail address to the correct one -- PGP key: 7ED9 F7D3 6B10 81D7 0EC5 5C09 D7DC C8E4 3187 7DF0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
