Description Hans de Goede 2000-01-19 11:14:45 EST

Bugzilla problem:
-xawtv is not available in bugzilla as a powertools component

Real bug: there are 2 problems with the xawtv 3.0.6 rpm in rawhide:
-v4l-conf is not installed suid root, this causes overlay mode to fail,
 and makes xawtv mostly useless.
-An unrelated problem is that the led font which is distributed with
 xawtv is not installed by the rpm.

Comment 1 Preston Brown 2000-01-19 13:06:59 EST

I am fixing the LED font problem now.

You must run v4l-conf as root.  It has not been security audited, and thus will
not be SUID root.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2000-01-19 13:16:59 EST

I understand, but v4l-conf is not called by me (the user) but by xawtv itself,
I believe it was specificly designed todo the dirty root work for xawtv and
nothing else. But your right.

Any chance you can get it audited somewhere in the future?
