Hi Martin,
Is there some sort of logic possible with a combination of suid-root
and seccomp? I think if we probe devices via solid, that'll need to
have a QApplication instantiated and we'd have to drop root privileges
before we init that.
Se my other mails: just creating the QApplication as root exposes a
severe risk. And there is nothing we can do about it from application
side.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
// now we are owned on X11
return app.exec();
}
Cheers
Martin
Thanks,
Boudhayan

I wonder whether it makes sense to make it a more generic format
tool that can
also format USB sticks. Then it may make sense to give it a more
generic name.
This sounds like a good idea!
... and a great opportunity for Dolphin. Maybe we can integrate it
nicely into Dolphin
e.g. by providing context menu actions for removable/floppy devices,
so that a user
can easily format her pen drive.

Great idea :). For some time now I am looking for an intuitive tool
which I can show novice users to format an USB stick or external
harddrive.
