Bug 339366 – neatx doesn't protect custom ssh authorized_keys

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Sparks 2010-10-01 16:27:36 UTC]

Neatx doesn't protect its ssh authorized_keys file so when neatx is upgraded it is replaced with the default key provided in the package.  This prevents logins that use a custom key from working until authorized_keys is restored.  


Please consider adding /var/lib/neatx/home (${NX_HOME_DIR}) to CONFIG_PROTECT.

I hope this shows what the problem is:

ca-desktop1 # ls -l ~nx/.ssh/
total 8
-rw------- 1 nx root 1899 Sep 30 14:08 authorized_keys

(re-emerge neatx)

ca-desktop1 # ls -l ~nx/.ssh/
total 8
-rw------- 1 nx root 629 Sep 30 22:09 authorized_keys

Problem still exists in neatx-0.3.1_p59

authorized_keys will be protected as of neatx-0.3.1_p59-r2, just committed to CVS
