Package: kdm
Version: 3.2.2
Severity: normal


i am using Debian 2.6.6 kernel compiled with SE/Linux support.

it therefore audits pretty much evveeerrrything.

i note that kdm_greet attempts to create a file /etc/qt3/.qtrc_lock,
when doing something as simple as logging in as an ordinary user.

no programs are, as far as i am aware, allowed to write to /etc
except configuring programs.

surely the lock file should be created in /var/lock/qt3 (i note no
such directory exists)

don't worry, there are other programs doing the same thing: krootimage
attempts to create a file /etc/qt3/.kstylerc.lock too :)

eek, _and_ /etc/qt3/.qt_plugins_3.2rc.lock

in fact, checking further, it looks like both programs
kdm_greet and krootimage are _both_ attempting to write to
all of these files.

basically, none of this should be happening: they should be either
in the home directory of the user (i note the existence of
~/.qt/.qtrc_lock) or in /var/lock/qt3.

hope this helps,

l.

Man, how may I do for configuring a provider?

You neither should ever enable a editor, nor ever need to telnet to the GUI to 
log in the serial port to the parallel editor.
