http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10324 Summary: Running Wine as root should generate warning Product: Wine Version: 0.9.48. Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish(a)gmail.com Since running Wine as root can cause so many problems/damage, there should be some way to either warn/prevent users from doing so. Looking at gedit (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit/) while editing some files in Ubuntu got me thinking that a small popup warning that running Wine as root can cause severe damage/etc and/or refusing to run as root would be a good idea. Shouldn't be too terribly hard to implement, and could hopefully prevent some users from damaging their systems/losing data. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
