It's a potential security hole to rely on $PATH instead of absolute paths when running a command as root. Since many of the commnads in the Makefile rely on $PATH, including executions of 'install' which usually would be run as root, I suppose secuirty concerns don't matter. -Andy > So the attached patch removes the hardcoded /sbin from the lsmod call. > > Signed-off-by: Matthias Schwarzott <z...@gentoo.org> > > Regards > Matthias -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
