[Touch-packages] [Bug 1471459] Re: First run of nano creates a directory in $HOME, if run as sudo will be root owned
This has been addressed in nano's SVN, r5580. In version 2.5.2 and higher, nano will ignore $HOME when it is effectively running as root, and will therefore not create or change anything in the home directory of the user that invokes nano through a plain sudo. (It also means that it will not use the normal user's .nanorc, but only the global /etc/nanorc plus the .nanorc file in /root. Which is kind of nice, because you can then give a root-privileged nano another appearance from that of a normal user, by using for example 'set titlecolor brightwhite,red'.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to nano in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471459 Title: First run of nano creates a directory in $HOME, if run as sudo will be root owned Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in nano package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If nano is started for the first with sudo then a root owned directory named .nano is created in the user's $HOME directory.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1471459] Re: First run of nano creates a directory in $HOME, if run as sudo will be root owned
It turns out that Ubuntu carries a patch for sudo that Debian doesn't: see keep_home_by_default.patch [1]. See also the changelog [2], somewhere in item 72. So I think one should ask the Ubuntu maintainer of sudo what the motivation for this patch is. And if there is no strong reason for it, ask him to drop it. That would solve this issue.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1471459] Re: First run of nano creates a directory in $HOME, if run as sudo will be root owned
Current nano (2.4.2) will only check for the existence of $HOME/.nano/ (and create it when it doesn't exist) when 'set historylog' or 'set poslog' are set in the $HOME/.nanorc file (or when the -H or -P options are used on the command line). But... when nano is used for the very first time (with sudo), how come there is already a .nanorc file? Does Ubuntu give you a default one? Or do they tell you to create a .nanorc before starting to use nano? Maybe Ubuntu could consider adding an empty .nano dir to the skeleton dir for each new user? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to nano in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471459 Title: First run of nano creates a directory in $HOME, if run as sudo will be root owned Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in nano package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If nano is started for the first with sudo then a root owned directory named .nano is created in the user's $HOME directory.
