Re: MADDE 'developer' account - good or bad?

[ronan.maclaverty]

Hi,
Earlier in the summer I tried with "root" using the password authentication 
scheme - it worked. If you use "user" then you do not need to use the key 
mechanism, the password does not change frequently like the "developer" 
password.

(I haven't tried the "user" account or the key scheme with any account other 
than "developer", so I don't know if this helps your case.)

Ronan.

Being able to set a breakpoint and actually hitting that breakpoint on
device without batting an eyelid is what IMO rocks most about the
whole Nokia Qt SDK scheme. If I was launching the program over ssh, I
could as well go back to scratchbox and a bunch of scripts to build &
copy the program over to device.

BTW, in new versions you can disable that packaging step (from build
settings, by expanding the "Create Package" build step). This makes
the deployment ~1 sec experience, which is pretty nice.

I just tried

- Giving password to "user"
- ssh in as user from terminal (success, answer "yes" to host id query though).
- Test connection as "user" (success, qt versions listed)
- Deploy key as "user", test the "key" authentication scheme (success,
qt versions listed)
- Run a program with ctrl + r using this setup (fail):

Cleaning up remote leftovers first ...
Error running initial cleanup: Could not connect to host..

Have you guys (Christian & Tomi mostly ;-) verified this scheme (using
'user') to work recently?

Surely that's a bug?  I would recommend searching if a report like
yours exists, and according to my very brief search seems there's not
a such[0].

Thanks,

Hi,

in my experience the separate developer account doesn't work for all
stuff out of the box. The developer account lacks membership in some
Unix groups the regular user is member of.

In my very limited personal experience from my first few hours with Qt Creator 
yesterday, I can already tell you that it doesn't help in security at all:
I was browsing the example projects and decided to take a look at the calendar 
example. Debugging it on the device caused it to replace the in-built 
calendar...
