Clearly, this is easily disabled by people who understand the problem. That is not the issue. The issue is that it is trivially easy to set up a situation where it can happen, and that Ubuntu is supposed to be for "human beings". In other words, the user should be told/warned that this can happen with xdmcp logins, or ( in my view a better solution), the permissions should by default not allow multi-login users to bring the network down. Anyway, I give up. If developers insist on setting absurd permissions and expecting ordinary people to fix them or uninstall the program, so be it. Lets all use Slackware, and be done with the illusion that Ubuntu is user friendly.... -- network-manager allows an unprivileged user to disconnect the network from xdmcp login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
