It would not work with stow though, would it? I use make install PREFIX=/usr/local/stow/slock-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d") cd /usr/local/stow/ stow slock-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d") s.

Oh, Thanks! I did not know about the "make install" thing, I was just building it. On Tue, Jul 08, 2014 at 04:19:41PM +0200, Danilo wrote: > Hi Amadeus > > Am Di, 8.

Hi Amadeus Am Di, 8. Jul 2014, um 16:08, schrieb Amadeus Folego: > I also can't use it as non-root, how did you solve it? You need to change the owner of the binary to "root" and set the suid bit: $ sudo chown root slock $ sudo chmod u+s slock If you use "make install", this happens automatically. Cheers, Danilo

Hi FRIGN, Danilo, I also can't use it as non-root, how did you solve it? Thanks, Amadeus.

Hey Danilo, I ran into that issue, too, when I wrote the patch to fix the shadow-support in slock. It took a while to debug. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN
Re: [dev] [slock] Configure OOM killer as non-root
Oh, never mind that stupid question. Sorry about bothering you, when setting the suid bit I forgot to change the owner to root, so of course that didn't help... Have a nice day, Danilo Am Di, 8.

[dev] [slock] Configure OOM killer as non-root
Hi all In commit ba3acfc, a patch has been applied to disable the Linux OOM killer for slock. While I like that change, I could not figure out what the proper way is to start slock without root privileges. A regular user does not seem to have write permissions on /proc/self/oom_score_adj. Can someone help me out here? Thanks, Danilo
