Description Robert M. Riches Jr. 2001-09-19 18:03:49 UTC 
Description of Problem:
/usr/sbin/v4l-conf, provided by xawtv-3.34-1 on the
Powertools CD, should be suid root.  Attempting to
run xawtv without manually doing this produces an
error message from v4l-conf that it needs to be
suid root.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xawtv-3.34-1

How Reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install xawtv-3.34-1 from the Powertools CD
2. xawtv
3. 

Actual Results:
error message from v4l-conf that it needs to be suid root

Expected Results:
xawtv should work

Additional Information:
After manually setting the suid bit, xawtv works great.

(Apologies for the probable wrong component name.  Xawtv is
in its own RPM, I couldn't find a component that appeared to
be correct, and bugzilla wouldn't accept a report without
some legal component selected.)

You need to reassign this to 'powertools' not Red Hat Linux, xawtv is
a component of powertools.
Comment 2 Ngo Than 2001-09-22 09:49:33 UTC 
It's fixed in xawtv-3.62-1. You will fint it in next rawhide release.
