OK, I just got done speaking with the developer of KSensors. As for running KSensors as root, this is a bad thing.
As for doing the SUID trick on HDTemp, this is not such a bad thing. His recommendation was to run 'dpkg-reconfigure hdtemp' and when asked if you want to suid hdtemp, you should go ahead and do so. So, now the question is, is this a KSensors issue or is it a HDTemp issue? -- Ksensors still not working with hddtemp for normal users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
