Description Daniel Malmgren 2008-01-30 14:53:47 EST

Description of problem:
Noticed that when I run vpnc as an ordinary user it completely ignores all
arguments passed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vpnc-consoleuser-0.5.1-2.fc8

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As an ordinary user, run vpnc with some arguments
  
Actual results:
The arguments are ignored.

Expected results:
Obvious.

Additional info:
Adding a simple $@ to the second line of /usr/sbin/vpnc-helper fixes this. Or is
this somehow a bad idea?

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2008-01-30 16:38:52 EST

Yes, this is actually very bad idea, because you can make to run any script
under root priviledges from regular user account.
