• Bug#266346: k3b does a stackingly large amount of find requests (/dev,

    Package: k3b
    Severity: normal


    hi - great program. have to write an SE/Linux policy for it because
    ordinary users aren't allowed access to hard drives: it's completely
    banned.

    so i started... and the number of things it tries to do!!!!

    i can't _possibly_ give it permission to stat /dev/tty*, /dev/vcs*,
    /dev/ptmx, /dev/pty etc!!!

    i don't know _where_ to begin to track down the correct permissions to
    allow it to work!

    in amongst the hundred or so "denied access to /dev/XXXX" permissions,
    _one_ of them (i spotted the one to /dev/hdc and granted that) is
    causing k3b to fail.

    _please_ could something be done about the access to /proc and to /dev
    such that it is a bit more selective about what it should be running a
    "find" on, such that i have more chance of narrowing down the permission
    sets!!

    thanks,

    l.
