Task: ubuntu hal
         Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released

Comment:
This got fixed with the new privilege separation code:

hal (0.5.6-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low

  * Add debian/patches/hald-runner.patch:
    - Fork off a small root daemon hald_runner that communicates with hald
      over p2p dbus and is responsible to start helpers as root. This allows
      the main hald to run with even less privileges and at the same time
      enables active elements like power management.
    - Patch from Sjoerd Simons, taken from upstream CVS.
  * Add debian/patches/privileges-hald.patch:
    - Run hald without any auxiliary groups.
  * Add debian/patches/privileges-addons.patch:
    - storage polling addon: Drop root privileges, run as user hal with
      auxiliary groups (since we need them for accessing CD-ROMs etc.).
    - acpi polling addon: Drop root privileges, run as user hal without any
      additional groups, since everybody can read acpid events.
  * debian/hal.install: Install hal-system-{power,lcd}-* scripts to make g-p-m
    happy. Do not install the storage scripts for now since they rely on the
    integrity of hald (redesigning them is upstream work in progress).
  * Remove debian/patches/hal-dbus_max_match_rules_per_connection.patch, it's
    obsolete.
  * Add debian/run-hald.sh: Script to run hald locally from build-tree.
