Security
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
2008-04-09 07:48:10 +00:00
|
|
|
The binary is installed setuid root in order to be able to modify /etc/spnavrc
|
|
|
|
|
and send signals to the daemon. However, it was designed from start to be as
|
|
|
|
|
secure as possible. spnavcfg launches two processes (see front.c and back.c).
|
|
|
|
|
The frontend that runs all the GUI code drops priviledges to the original uid,
|
|
|
|
|
while the backend that does all the gruntwork keeps effective uid root.
|
|
|
|
|
As long as you don't run the program while logged in as root, it should be very
|
|
|
|
|
secure.
