Description Ulenrich 2022-01-04 21:45:41 UTC
Due to the description of nnp we can enable a disablelation?

sys-apps/sandbox description:
nnp - Enable NO_NEW_PRIVS which blocks set*id programs from gaining privileges (e.g. sudo)

Do you mean:
nnp - No_New_Privs neglects any addition to privs when updating a set*id program

(I am not sure if that was meant nor if my sentence is the better english)

Also:
Please don't take the short "nnp" but the full three words as USE variable!


Reproducible: Always

And I wonder if the wise man say is proper here: "Don't make things too complicated. But don't simplify in a way things get complicated"

- you can add privs when updating a package
- you can set privs with a new merger of a package
- but upstream might want to take away default privs they previously set?

All doing well for Gentoo with a little USE variable "nnp" ?
