Re: [RFA] .gdbinit security (revived) [incl doc]

That's what (I interpreted?) Andreas as suggesting.

BTW do people really need this feature?  I always use my alias gdbn to force
-nx to not load any .gdbinit, as I generally do not expect which project which
way changes my GDB behavior.

I have no idea, really. I'm just trying to upstream a Fedora patch. From the original discussion, I gather that several linux distros are carrying similar patches. I presume there is a reason for it. [Was there a CERT alert that was published?]

In any case, I'm rethinking a bunch of this... Stay tuned.
