About

Spacenav daemon interactive configuration program.

Installation

Requires GTK+ 2 and Xlib headers to be installed. ./configure, make, make install, as usual (make install part as root).

Security

The binary is installed setuid root in order to be able to modify /etc/spnavrc and send signals to the daemon. However, it was designed from start to be as secure as possible. spnavcfg launches two processes (see front.c and back.c). The frontend that runs all the GUI code drops priviledges to the original uid, while the backend that does all the gruntwork keeps effective uid root. As long as you don't run the program while logged in as root, it should be very secure.
