Subject: system-config-printer-udev: window manager hook to authorize configuration Package: system-config-printer-udev Version: 1.2.3-3 Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line *** If I could set an option for a box to pop up and ask "configure printer?" with the information it identified to the kernel usb interface to verify, no one would be able to plug in a bogus usb thing pretending to be my printer, to exploit some unknown security bug in usb, cups, hplip, or any that polls the printer device. When my laptop closes, the screen locks, which would let me type my password to have an authentic login while I'm there to plug in the device. Can the message bus send confirm/ok dialogs to the pop-up notices and get an answer back from an authorized & authenticated user?
