--- Comment #7 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- We wouldn't use a cronjob, we'd watch the file for changes directly. However reading the contents of the file would require a daemon with elevated privileges, which presents security challenges. In addition, we'd need to cache the old encrypted password to know when it changed to something else, presenting further security challenges. This is all sounding quite risky. At this point I'm going to say that I don't think the risks are worth the benefits. I'd be happy to be proven wrong if someone wanted to submit a patch to do it that was well-considered from a security angle. Thanks anyway for the idea! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
