Thank you for the update. If I'm not wrong, this would make it easier for end-users to "tweak" permissions if you don't put a password on the grub menu entries (which you should do anyway, as otherwise unprivileged users could be dropped to a root shell)
I know it's a bit of security-through-obscurity and is certainly less flexible, but I think it might be safer to have the desired permissions hard-coded in the initramfs. Perhaps I'm worng/misguided. Wouldn't be the first time. Anyway, either way it does the job. It'd be just fantastic if there was a nice little GUI that would do this for you (or at least documentation, which I guess is what this is now.) Alas, I'm not volunteering to do it. This workaround was my best effort. -- WUBI Ubuntu 8.04, access permissions on "/host" folder cannot be changed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
