Re: Bug#380914: help with python transition in pyracerz game

["Jose Carlos Medeiros" <jose@psabs.com.br>]

Hi,

I updated package,, but before upload it , I would like to solve this
file permissions problem.

Well, DSFG says that we cannot put a chmod 77 in a /var/games/* file then
to solve I setted suid to group games and put /var/games/..file.conf
in games group.

With binary packages I havent problems,, but as pyRacerz is
interpreted using python,  set suid to pyracerz script do not work :(

I couldnt this in just 2 solutions.
1 - chmod 777 /var/games/pyracerz/pyracerz.conf
or
2 - set suid to python executable.

I dont need to say that second option is out of question :)

This file must be in /var/games, because all users in same pc can see
history and etc.    And if I put this file in home user,  just this
user will read this file.

Jose Carlos
