[DNG] Waterfox issues under Devuan ASCII
Hi, I upgraded Ascii to Beowulf and successfully used the new version of Waterfox. However, there are certain issues like a missing copy of dpkg-reconfigure. I also noticed that Beowulf now comes with more stringent security. A side effect of the increased security caused my version of simple-netaid-gui, the one coded under Lazarus, to fail in accessing certain directories. The SUID backend is also denied access to these directories with the effect of failing to connect to any connection. I had run the SUID backend as root to be able to establish a connection. Please note, I am only describing the consequences of an increased more stringent security. I am NOT pleading the distribution to change to please my whims. Manually, I am still able to connect as root with the backend. However, suggestions as to how I can access files with the frontend are most welcome. Thanks. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
