As a normal user under KDE I am able to edit a file I should not be able to
The file:
I have checked that kate/kwrite/dolphin, etc is running under my user, not root.
I am in wheel group (and operator) so seeing the file is ok, but why am I able to write to it?
If I try from konsole (pico) it gives the expected permission denied error. but "user@host:/root % kate test.sh" allows me to save.
How is this possible?
Environment: FreeBSD 13.1 KDE5 and xorg installed from pkg quarterly.
This is such a major security hole that I assume it's expected behavior that I don't know about because I'm new to using FreeBSD as a desktop.
