This button changes the permissions of -/usr/bin/klaptop_acpi_helper from "0755 root.root" to "6755 root.root", -and therefore grants all regular users extra power management abilities. -This has obvious security implications, and should not be done on any -system where all users are not trusted absolutely. - -The standard klaptopdaemon changes the binary's permissions using chmod. -However, if an updated version of the Debian klaptopdaemon package -were then to be installed, it would reset the permissions, forcing the -sysadmin to reconfigure after each upgrade. - -The Debian package has therefore been patched to use dpkg-statoverride to -permanently change the permissions of /usr/bin/klaptop_acpi_helper.
