This was an argument against Gentoo more than six or seven years ago with regards to the security of whole portage system. Every package management system which uses hashes to verify integrity has the same problems. I think a lot of source tarballs are downloaded from the official sites

Hi, when maintaining a machine from remote I sometimes have to switch to a non-root user (whose password I don't want to know) to try something out. For that, I log into that machine by ssh -Y r...@ Now, how can I switch to user USER such that the X credentials are copied. Unfortunately,

Hi Jonas, unfortunately, I don't understand your advice. I do have X11 forwarding configured and I don't have any problems when working as the same user for which I logged in via ssh -Y. But if I change the user by using su (doesn't work) or sux (works on a local machine), Xauthorization fails.
