--- Comment #15 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Git commit 40453cb627a39f1ff92373f865426f0bcdc83419 by Nathaniel Graham.
Committed on 31/05/2018 at 18:18.
Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'.
Re-allow running Dolphin as the root user (but still not using sudo)
Summary:
Prohibiting the use of Dolphin as the actual root user (not using `sudo` or
`kdesu`) breaks legitimate use cases for using the root user. An example is
Kali, a distro that logs in as the root user by default as a deliberate design
choice.
In such an environment, there is no additional security vulnerability beyond
what you're already potentially exposing yourself to. So, let's re-enable it.
FIXED-IN: 18.08.0
Test Plan:
- Log in as normal user and run `sudo dolphin`: you get an error message.
- Log in as normal user and run `kdesu dolphin`: you get an error message.
- Log in as the root user and run dolphin normally: it works.
