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.
It's fixed in xawtv-3.62-1. You will fint it in next rawhide release.
