Hello. I'm a GNOME 3.12 user with a couple of problems that could depend |
| 2 |
on GNOME keyring running as root instead of a non-privileged user. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
This is the situation before logging in with GDM: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
$ ps aux | grep keyring |
| 7 |
root 458 0.0 0.0 115220 2808 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 8 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login |
| 9 |
fturco 474 0.0 0.0 10572 2212 tty1 S+ 10:53 0:00 grep |
| 10 |
--colour=auto keyring |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This is the situation after logging in with GDM: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
$ ps aux | grep keyring |
| 15 |
root 458 0.0 0.0 115220 2808 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 16 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login |
| 17 |
root 495 0.0 0.0 115220 2784 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 18 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login |
| 19 |
root 499 0.0 0.0 115248 3672 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 20 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login |
| 21 |
root 534 0.0 0.1 294352 8692 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 22 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh |
| 23 |
root 550 0.0 0.1 359888 8636 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |

/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11 |
| 25 |
root 558 0.0 0.1 359888 8480 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 26 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets |
| 27 |
root 568 0.0 0.1 294356 8560 ? Sl 10:53 0:00 |
| 28 |
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg |
| 29 |
fturco 753 0.0 0.0 10576 2236 pts/0 S+ 10:54 0:00 grep |

As you can see I have many gnome-keyring-daemon processes running as |
| 33 |
root. I also noted that on my system /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon has |
| 34 |
the setuid bit set: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon |
| 37 |
-rws--x--x 1 root root 940184 Jun 8 16:18 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Some directories are owned by root: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
$ ls -ld /run/user/1000/keyring/ |
| 42 |
drwx------ 2 root fturco 100 Jun 15 10:55 /run/user/1000/keyring/ |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
$ ls -ld /home/fturco/.local/share/keyrings |
| 45 |
drwx------ 2 root fturco 4096 Jun 9 18:53 |
| 46 |
/home/fturco/.local/share/keyrings |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Is all of this normal? |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
P.S. At the beginning I hinted at a couple of problem I'm having: 1) I |
| 51 |
cannot access my e-mail account with Evolution; 2) I also cannot connect |
| 52 |
to my VPN with Network Manager. In both cases I get the following error |
| 53 |
message in journalctl: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
> Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
There are two bugs on GNOME bugzilla describing these problems, one for |
| 58 |
Evolution and the other one for Network Manager: |
