It's intentional; we're not going to ship an application that has a
sole use of creating security holes.


Additional Comment #2 From Doncho N. Gunchev on 2004-05-04 04:47

Maybe the menu entry should be removed to avoid confusion?

Now I haven't heard form either KDE or the Maintainer of K3b of ANY security issues with K3bsetup.

Did I miss a bug report here or is this person pulling my leg or has no clue what I submitted ? LOL

I must say that the Fedora Team is the only distro I've seen make this kind of change. Sounds to me like they are getting a little anal...

The menu entry is removed.

k3bsetup changes the owner and group of the CD devices, and the
permissions on various binary apps. All of this is unnecessary; ergo,
it's not going to be shipped. (And making things like cdrecord, etc.
setuid *will* open up security holes in the future.)

Well, I guess the Fedora Team isn't all that different from the original Redhat Team.

Yes, in certain aspects they are right, but I was under the impression Fedora was
more for the "EndUser" than it's big brother RHEL.

I guess Fedora was more of a corporate move for sme reason and not for the
Open Source world
