-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: lightdm Version: 1.10.3-3 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, until today I had not even tried this, when I typed 'root' and the password into the lightdm-mask instead of into VT-4-login. I was quite surprised, that lightdm allows root-login, I also did not find, where to switch this off in the text-configuration. I have tried some things about X-login, but a root-session from lightdm is clearly not what I wanted. In my opinion this is *INSECURE*, if I need graphical root-access, then I start thunar for instance from the terminal, saying 'sudo thunar', but having a completely root-Xsession is most probably not recommended at all. Please revert this to normal and add a configuration-option to enable it, if hackers need the it in order to test X-security. Maybe this is related to systemd. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.7-ckt7edtp (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages lightdm depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii consolekit 0.4.6-5 ii dbus 1.8.16-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii libc6 2.19-15 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libpam-systemd 215-12 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libxcb1 1.10-3+b1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1+b1 ii lightdm-gtk-greeter [lightdm-greeter] 1.8.5-2 Versions of packages lightdm recommends: ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7 Versions of packages lightdm suggests: ii accountsservice 0.6.37-3+b1 ii upower 0.99.1-3.1 - -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: lightdm lightdm/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/lightdm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlURIv0ACgkQ5+rBHyUt5wu7WwCgrU6OFQNk1a7onAULMGK5/T4u v0oAoMMW/ZDQpzcW+7pdkg07gJJ6wlAi =BD1o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
