That's a responsibility I'm willing to take. It's a little crazy, but I like to feel that I have the power to do anything (even shoot myself in the foot if I feel a little frisky). The day that Linux starts acting like Windows (it thinks it knows better than the administrator what's right and what's wrong and enforces this as much as possible), that's the day I will switch to something else.
When it comes to root acces, I believe in the following quote (from MiB): "You're no longer part of the System. You're above the System. Over it. Beyond it." That's just the way it should be :-) On the bright side, it seems that this bug is no longer present, so you should consider this solved. As far as I'm concerned the bug was that a chmod on the file would succeed, but subsequent sudo commands would fail due to wrong permissions on the sudoers file. Which was rather annoying. -- editing sudoers in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192166 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
