|
273 | .IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?" |
|
|
274 | You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR |
|
|
275 | now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
|
|
276 | runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them, |
|
|
277 | except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
|
|
278 | be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
|
|
279 | the future) depends on it. |
|
|
280 | .Sp |
|
|
281 | You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources |
|
|
282 | system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful |
|
|
283 | behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
|
|
284 | \&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
|
|
285 | perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
|
|
286 | .Sp |
|
|
287 | If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
|
|
288 | one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with |
|
|
289 | \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
|
|
290 | encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |

|
|
292 | .IX Item "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?" |
|
|
293 | Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably not |
|
|
294 | bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of freetype |
|
|
295 | + fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to all be |
|
|
296 | secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it detects that it |
|
|
297 | runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. Besides, with the embedded perl |
|
|
298 | interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies. |
|
|
299 | .Sp |
|
|
300 | Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some |
|
|
301 | systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for |
|
|
302 | ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into |
|
|
303 | a forked handler process, but this is not yet done. |
|
|
304 | .Sp |
|
|
305 | So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your |
|
|
306 | typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always remember that |
|
|
307 | its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked for security issues |
|
|
308 | regularly. |
