Status:
------------------------
GADMIN-PROFTPD 0.4.4 has been released.
Authentication types are now selectable with combo choices.
ModulePath is added if found but missing in the conf.
Adds MySQL-support via MySQL interprocess communication.
MySQL database setup adds user, group and quota tables.
Remote and local MySQL users can be added, changed and deleted.
Extra information:
If MySQL authentication is used the program
must be started from a terminal as root.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------ Description of the issue follows -------------------
If su-to-root (Debian/Ubuntu) or userhelper (Redhat/Fedora)
is used (as it is when started from the program menu)
the program will exit when adding or changing a MySQL user.
This is caused by an unforseen bug where function
write_password(); in file: mysql_functions.c
is not allowed to write(); to stdin of the MySQL subprocess.
Attaching strace shows possible issues that can be fixed
within the MySQL binary to allow non-visible pseudo-terminals
to be used for interactive communication.
This works in all other interactive clients.
--------------
gadmin-proftpd with added strace debug output as follows:
Extra command added before the mysql command structure:
strace -o /tmp/straceout.txt

--------------
----------- Policykit and Pkexec ---------------
Polkit/pkexec is a new su-to-root program that has code for
admin-guis and other programs that people want to
run as root by clicking, say a terminal icon and supplying
the root password. But it does not seem to work because that
code has been outcommented in it.
If the user is root, IE: has the password for the root-account
why cant root do what it wants to in an easy to use way ?
Because if anyone has the root password that anyone can do
exactly anything to the system anyway.
----------- Logging in to the GNOME desktop -----------
Why isnt root allowed to do so anymore ?
This is not a security issue.
----------- In conclusion -----------------------------
If a system has the possibility of doing something securely,
then why limit the system's ability to be used more efficiently ?
