In addition to the remarks of the others:  It's not just about me as the
laptop user trusting or not trusting other laptop users.  I was rather
thinking about a network owner allowing a particular person to use their
access point, after being trained in the local policy and - what is more
important to a certain type of staff - having signed and accepted that
policy.  The policy will probably contain a "may not give a third party
access to the information..."

The initscripts /do/ already do this.  See checkroot.sh and read_fstab
in /lib/init/mount-functions.sh.

If it's not working for you, then it's possible that the fstab entry
for / doesn't match.  Might be worth sourcing and running read_fstab
by hand to see if it's pulling out the options correctly.

Roger

Or the init scripts could "mount -oremount,commit=300 /". Most options
can be altered throught remount. For the few remaining ones
(e.g. data=writeback) editing the kernel's boot options is probably ok.

The init scripts already do this for read-only / read-write. Why doesn't
this work for commit= too?

With / being mounted read-only, and yes there are more and more people
who do have that again, /etc is not writable at runtime for
anything. So your GUI will simply fail to work.

The only way you can argue is that your GUI is a nice frontend for
editing the static config in /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf. As such
the admin needs to remount / read-write before running it just like he
would before running 'sensible-editor /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf'.

In that case you should detect when /etc is read-only and have good
error messages. Maybe even have some way to automatically or with one
click mount / read-write for the duration of the write.

Note: For comparison in apt one can configure hooks to mount /
read-write before invoking dpkg and read-only after. So "apt-get
upgrade" works without having to remount / read-write first.

MfG
Goswin

Hello.

You've just encountered:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626450

I've fixed it this way:
# /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /bin/ln -s /lib /lib64
# /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/dpkg --configure -a

And yes - it do the same on unchrooted system too.

Looks like this was fixed already in a 2.13-4 upload.  (The symptoms
indicate that the dynamic linker went missing, which appears to have been
because of a missing /lib64 symlink.)
