Greetings,
I know this is probably not the most important security patch for KDE, but
it has been on my drive here for over a year.
Basicly it changes chown() to fchown() so the ownership operations are
done on the fd vs the filename. I _think_ the operation remains
unchanged, and I have not found an instance where it behaves badly.
Opinions?
Cheers
