Task: ubuntu hal
Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released
Comment:
This got fixed with the new privilege separation code:
hal (0.5.6-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
* Add debian/patches/hald-runner.patch:
- Fork off a small root daemon hald_runner that communicates with hald
over p2p dbus and is responsible to start helpers as root. This allows
the main hald to run with even less privileges and at the same time
enables active elements like power management.
- Patch from Sjoerd Simons, taken from upstream CVS.
* Add debian/patches/privileges-hald.patch:
- Run hald without any auxiliary groups.
* Add debian/patches/privileges-addons.patch:
- storage polling addon: Drop root privileges, run as user hal with
auxiliary groups (since we need them for accessing CD-ROMs etc.).
- acpi polling addon: Drop root privileges, run as user hal without any
additional groups, since everybody can read acpid events.
* debian/hal.install: Install hal-system-{power,lcd}-* scripts to make g-p-m
happy. Do not install the storage scripts for now since they rely on the
integrity of hald (redesigning them is upstream work in progress).
* Remove debian/patches/hal-dbus_max_match_rules_per_connection.patch, it's
obsolete.
* Add debian/run-hald.sh: Script to run hald locally from build-tree.
