Package: incron Version: 0.5.10-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
incron's UserTable::MayAccess is too naive and reinvents the wheel when checking permissions on a watched dir. Since it only manually checks for uid/gid matching, it silently ignores folders that can actually be accessed according to the set ACLs (thought it does warn about "access denied" while reloading the incrontab). For instance, the current handling of /media is done with per-user subdirs which all belong to root:root, but get ACLs set appropriately for the actual intended owner. This means incrontabs handling removable media don't work. I'm not sure why /media gets handled like this, but I hope you agree incron's inability to deal with ACLs is a problem regardless of this particular case's merits.
