Package: kwlan Version: 0.6.1-2+b1 Severity: important kwlan uses kdesu to run arbitrary, unknown commands as root. The documentation says "You need to be able to run networking relevant commands like dhclient, ifconfig, iwconfig, route and wpa_supplicant." The phrasing indicates that this is NOT sufficient information to answer the question (What programs does a user need to able to run using sudo?), and there does not seem to be a correct answer. Checking my auth.log, it seems it only runs one command:
Jun 5 03:05:21 zex sudo: yann : TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/home/yann ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/kdesu_stub - In other words, it runs a stub for *arbitrary control*. Even this is run hidden from me by a window that requests my or root's password without hinting at what command it's talking about. I would like for the question to have a proper answer, i.e. run the commands in question using sudo, not a strange wrapper, and list the commands. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kwlan depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1 core libraries and binaries for al ii libc6 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070525-1 GCC support library ii libiw29 29~pre21-2 Wireless tools - library ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.7-4+b1 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.2-20070525-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii ppp 2.4.4rel-9 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daem ii psmisc 22.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii sudo 1.6.8p12-5 Provide limited super user privile ii wpasupplicant 0.6.0~cvs20070224-3 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I kwlan recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
