I've spent a few minutes writing up some documentation about security and PackageKit. These notes probably apply to most of the PolicyKit enabled daemons, and they might be useful to somebody. I'm also not sure whether my concern over a custom "always authenticate" session helper is valid, as I admit i don't fully understand the setuid aspect of the session helpers. I would appreciate review from any of you on this list.
Please bear in mind it's work in progress: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/plain/docs/security.txt Thanks. Richard. _______________________________________________ polkit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/polkit-devel
