Hi all, I'm under the impression that there is a minor issue with the rights given to the /usr/bin/namecheck.py binary of namebench package (currently using version 1.3.1+dfsg-2). I noticed it when I tried to run namecheck as simple user and completion did not work as expected. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it should work since any user that has access to Internet should be able to send DNS queries and that is the whole point of namebench. So the rights on my distribution (Debian testing) are :
$ ls -l /usr/share/namebench/ total 20 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 avril 25 2011 config -> /etc/namebench drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 sept. 2 04:16 data drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 sept. 2 04:19 libnamebench *-r-x------ 1 root root 2473 avril 25 2011 namebench.py* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1939 sept. 2 04:19 namebench.pyc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 sept. 2 04:16 templates (/usr/bin/namebench being a link to /usr/share/namebench.py using a relative path) So I think a value like chmod 755 would be better suited. The lack of « w » right for the owner should not cause too much trouble since updates are performed by root however it could generate a warning. Regards, -- Raphaël Bazaud
