Subject: [ptxdist] [PATCH] polkit: add pkexec install option
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2022 13:37:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220430113724.6133-1-bruno.thomsen@gmail.com> (raw)
Disable default install of pkexec SUID binary as it's an old way of
executing a command as another user or with elevated privileges.
Fedora will also avoid installing pkexec[1], and put it in an optional
compat RPM package.
