#6017: Reading ./.ghci files raises security issues -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #8248 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by taylorfausak): I understand that this is an old issue, GHCi has behaved like this forever, and the `-ghci-script` workaround exists. Nonetheless this behavior always surprises and annoys me. Even if I run `chmod g-w .ghci` GHCi still complains that `. is writable by someone else` and ignores my `.ghci` file. I would like it if this permission check didn't exist at all, especially for directories and doubly so for `~/.ghci`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6017#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
