--- Comment #13 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- No one's arguing in favor of running dolphin sudo'd in a user session. But until root login is completely disabled, people are going to run GUI software in their root sessions, andpreventing Dolphin from running doesn't actually increase security at all, it just annoys them. ** Obviously root sessions should be strongly discouraged. ** No disagreement there. But that's not our call; Distros make that decision. And there are probably a few use cases that we can't think of, because our users have diverse needs. For example, root sessions using Docker are common. I think it's quite a reasonable compromise to allow Dolphin to run in a root session--if root sessions are allowed--but continuing to disable running Dolphin sudo'd in a user session (in favor if running it normally and using polkit for file activities requiring authentication). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
