Bug ID: 385596
Summary: Kate not respecting setgid bit on file
Product: kate
Version: 17.04.2
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: b...@clearingstelle-eeg.de
Target Milestone: ---
Trying to use Kate to edit a file, e.g. called mktest.sh, i experienced an
unexpected behaviour:
The directory and file is owned by another user, but i as member of a common
group should be able to edit the file if the group id bit (s) is set:
3775 drwxrwsr-t user1 engineers /home/shared/admin
775 -rwxrwxr-x user1 engineers /home/shared/admin/mktest.sh
Another user2, who is in group engineers, should generally be able to edit file
mktest.sh although he cannot move it.
For reference see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#sticky_bit_with_GUID
Using emacs, gedit or vi user2 can do that, while kate/kwrite/kile are denying
user2 to edit the file.
This happens on Opensuse Leap 42.3 using
- Kate 17.04.2-1.6
- Plasma 5.8.7
- plasma-framework 5.32-0-4.1
- libQt5.6.2-6.1
- kdelibs-4.14.33
