The instructions are not clear but the current code needs to be run as root. It then figures out user from packet information and su to that user. It would be much better if people could run it as normal user for the case where the eclipse and the server are run by the same user. There are a couple questionable cases in datamanager.cpp:DataManager::execStap(): case (SHELL): allows executing arbitary script (as root this seems like a bad idea). what would prevent someone from using this to just connect and run arbitrary commands. cases (BLUEDYE): mentions a package (Bluedye) that doesn't appear to be available in fedora Why scp the file to the server machine? why not send it to the stapgui-server with the command and run with stap -e 'script...'? Currently, the plugin stores the password in plantext in a possibly world readable file. Also the current checks in the plugin do not seem to notice if the transfer failed (due to missing password). The compile server does compile code, but it doesn't perform the other aspects of systemtapgui server such as execute the script and collect stdout/stderr. Could systemtapgui be stripped down just to use staprun to run a compiled script? Make it possible to run systemtap scripts on stripped down machines. This would be useful for cases of running code on compute nodes in a cluster. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
