--- Comment #8 from Paul Donohue <samba-b...@paulsd.com> --- I agree with the general philosophy that it isn't rsync's problem to secure the command line. However, I don't see any good way that sudo can secure the rsync command line unless rsync provides some mechanism for disabling popt aliases, hence why I'm proposing these patches. Note that popt aliases are an optional feature of popt and are not automatically enabled when popt is used, so this problem will not necessarily affect every program that uses popt. However, perhaps an alternative solution would be to extend popt itself to allow popt aliases to be disabled in some standard way in any application that uses them. (Maybe a standard command line option that applies to all programs using popt, or an environment variable, or some code to automatically detect when popt is running under sudo and disable aliases?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
