Package: gnome-keyring Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
If I unmount my NTFS partition, I keep getting errors (in auth.log, no less!) like this: > Feb 15 10:42:53 khufu gnome-keyring-daemon[17623]: > removing removable location: /win > Feb 15 10:42:53 khufu gnome-keyring-daemon[17623]: > no volume registered at: /win I've looked in the documentation, and I can find no reason for gnome-keyring-daemon to be looking in removeable drives. It claims to store passwords and otherwise act like ssh-agent; trying to access other drives in a system would appear to be outside this purpose. If there's a valid reason for gnome-keyring-daemon to be doing this, then it should appear in the documentation. Otherwise I can only regard this package as a security risk. (The problem is compounded by the fact that so many packages seem to depend upon gnome-keyring-daemon for no reason: see bug #563358, for example). Note, too, that bug #497428 is related to this. I'm not sure what severity to put on this bug. I think it's a security risk unless there's a valid reason for this behaviour: if there is one, then it's probably 'wishlist' (to add an explanation to the documentation). Feel free to change it as you wish, but I'll leave it at 'normal' for now. - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.8-khufu-0 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-keyring depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal-storage1 0.5.14-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.14-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libtasn1-3 2.4-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) Versions of packages gnome-keyring recommends: pn libpam-gnome-keyring <none> (no description available) gnome-keyring suggests no packages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJLeZiZAAoJEDHYrtWvbQ1KbrkP/R2T52Gyaa9fam+TSi1KXd3g q8KG46NiocGwtDy93e6O3esz9rJaP+bZa90Bv9An+K42HUlW1IKDK95dJ2MRcwaN UhPFsARmLGD7D6V6i1JjlwIFUzeifkmYVdG+62bZl4WLEBE7InF1BtUgIKR3OoLz 89NzVe4gIp/GoiKChdzqR2Oo2jQu5JAS8SmRkpbLCOsjvHUS0SbS47w/B6ubulAc y+K7Iy0TctEfnmJH69U1ztq359wwrvUm5o3XsNEu8pIGg2y1fSGxGk/bTN4Tszp/ uucnA/f6Q3sX/BwBiNhylEEX4JruL0KZ4oVKoY/9g2HCo5LuyZlGMdiUmk441txd WVeOdwoRO9HCTrsOS5OZEg+/GkzMGqs08fMWUyxdpSzzZ2Va3jUTTcGDHpF/soXp ga7W2kxL2DDsU3WbF4Bcx7CBmYJLBXPpuLUgkqDx0xnYHU34js4mM8AcDjGFhZyG GZvlAD8BRoAu7yIFzwkvJ+ZcAbCuiPgE+bZZaseFzWZppnML5QifPUqZVWtFDifY YFski6ATnpZ3049blxa2Rll/fUPWRr1Mvo64TALuQOoBqdUN/3xwEgC3NzTxrjsg 28HXRkweo+hM+ueNV+Jt+0m1cspcBx3MbEY2DCf3cNJi46i98r8H1Ufve7HEN5V/ Ve+AYSjLinov8trBq/5A =S4AV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
