I find those commens particularly construtive in this context. This bug was implemented with little thought to the fact that it opens a major security hole in the os and prevents it from being used in a large number of corporations (esentially any corporation with a decent security policy).
The severity of the action has never been acknowledged by the powers that be. The last two major versions of Ubutnu have seen a number of major issues implemented on a whim that seem to be ignored completly. Between this and a few other "features" like it I've been forced to abandon Ubuntu as an os which is really sad because it had so much promise before karmic. Marking a security vulnerablilty as "Medium" and "Won't Fix" is laughable at best and takes Ubuntu completly out of contention as a corporate OS. -- No GUI option to disable face browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445123 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
