Stephane Peter (Codehost) - Tue Feb 5 15:38:56 PST 2002 * Added keyboard accelerators in the GTK+ UI for increased usability. Stephane Peter (Codehost) - Wed Feb 6 16:02:01 PST 2002 * Support product path prefixes so that the check & rescue tool can locate a product on its installation media if it is not at the root (i.e. in a 'linux' subdirectory). * Introduced the 'remove_msg' element for uninstallation messages. Stephane Peter (Codehost) - Wed Feb 27 16:24:36 PST 2002 * Initial Solaris / SVR4 port. Ryan C. Gordon * makeself now uses the md5sum program for MD5 calculation. * bzip2 fixes/enhancements. * installation/symlink paths in GTK+ combo boxes should be more sane now. * autoconf warning cleanups. * Required CD-ROM detection works now. * VERY preliminary BeOS support. Timothée Besset * EULA can now word wrap with text-based setup. Stephane Peter (Codehost) - Sun Mar 31 22:46:57 PST 2002 * Added the 'reinstall' tag to allow multiple reinstallations * Rewrote xsu 0.2.3 to eliminate all dependencies on Gnome, and also added proper i18n support to it. * Imported the updated setup.sh from TTimo's branch, with very slight changes. The setup.data/config.sh script is now officially recognized as well.

| XSU - SU for Gnome | ||
| ------------------ | ||
|
|
||
| * Introduction | ||
| xsu Is an interface for the command `su - username -c command` in Gnome. When | ||
| the user executes xsu, he will be prompted for a command, a username and a | ||
| password. If the username and password are correct xsu will execute the command | ||
| as the entered user. So if the username was root, then the command will be | ||
| executed as root. | ||
|
|
||
| Of course it's also possible to predefine the username and the command by | ||
| using the [-u,--username] and [-c,--command] arguments at the command line | ||
| of xsu. This can be very useful when using xsu in for example gmenu or the | ||
| panel. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| * Security | ||
| Gnome Xsu 0.2.0 uses the standard su binary to gain it's root access. This | ||
| way, all security issues should be solved. | ||
|
|
||
| The security of all older xsu versions was very bad. With xsu version 0.1.0 | ||
| I introduced the use of a pipe to a secured non-Gnome SUID application. This | ||
| has been replaced with a special type of pipe to the standard su application. | ||
| For example the one from GNU sh-utils. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| * Little manual | ||
| - Commandline parameters for xsu | ||
| * [-u|--username] "username" Sets the username | ||
| * [-c|--command] "command line" Sets the command | ||
| * [-m|--message] "Message^line" Sets the message | ||
| * [-t|--title] "Window title" Sets the window title | ||
| * [-i|--icon] "pixmap file" Loads another icon | ||
| * [-a|--set-display] "hostname:port" Sets the DISPLAY | ||
| environment variable | ||
| to :0 before starting | ||
| the command if no 2e | ||
| argument is given. Else | ||
| use the Xserver at | ||
| hostname:p | ||
|
|
||
| * [-e|--hide] Hides the username | ||
| and command textboxes | ||
| if possible | ||
| * [-d|--unadaptable] Disables the username | ||
| and command textboxes | ||
| if possible. | ||
| * [-h|--help] Displays help | ||
|
|
||

|
||
| ps. When using -m or --message you can use the character ^ | ||
| in your message if you want to use a new line, and the character | ||
| ~ if you want to use a tabulation. If no message is set, then | ||
| the default message will be used : | ||
|
|
||
| The action you requested requires root | ||
| priveleges. | ||
| Please enter the correct password for it | ||
| below and press [Return] or click OK. | ||
|
|
||
| Example : | ||
|
|
||
| xsu --message "The action you requested requires root^priveleges.^Please enter the correct password for it^below and press [Return] or click OK." | ||
|
|
||
| - Using xsu in gmenu (Menu Editor) | ||
| At the "Command:" textbox just use for example | ||
| xsu -c "The command line" -u "root" -m "Enter the root password^please." | ||
|
|
||
| * Example : | ||
| Command: xsu -c "gmenu" -u "root" -m "To start the Menu Editor^you have to enter^the root password^here." | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
