Same problem here with Intrepid Beta. If I browse a user directory as guest with Nautilus, I can see the files and their previews which already reveal some of their content, but cannot open them with gedit "permission denied". In the console they can be opened.
I also think that for example /boot should be denied to the guest user, as he might be able to read out a plaintext password that is stored in /boot/grub/menu.lst to prevent access to root privileges during boot. ** Summary changed: - [Intrepid alpha] guest account can access /home/user + [Intrepid alpha, beta] guest account can access /home/user -- [Intrepid alpha, beta] guest account can access /home/user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269921 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
