The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: URGENT: libXt problems

dga is *no longer* setuid, one of the things I fixed when I took over.
xlock is in a seperate (xlockmore) package and is not my problem :-)
I'm not convinced that rxvt is immune, but I could perhaps be
convinced.  xterm needs the setuid bits to handle utmp/wtmp properly,
I'm not sure if it needs them otherwise [on some systems it needs them
for pty's as well, but I don't think linux is one of those.]  The
chmod u-s suggestion could certainly go in the release notes, but I'm
afraid we'd get *more* complaints if it were the default...

The X server doesn't use Xt (and isn't setuid anyhow; the wrapper is,
and it doesn't either though it might be a hook for more protection
anyhow.)
