Template: pconsole/setuid
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you want /usr/bin/pconsole to be installed SUID root?
You are strongly encouraged to leave pconsole without the SUID bit on.
.
If you are using a multiuser system, setting the SUID bit on pconsole will
be a major risk for a breach, since normal users will be able to attach
their consoles to a root PTY/TTY and send commands as root.
.
However, on a single-user system, setting the SUID bit might be a good
idea to avoid logging as root user.
.
If in doubt, you should install it without SUID. If it causes problems
you can change your mind later by running: dpkg-reconfigure pconsole
