profiles: ssh: add ${RUNUSER}/gvfsd-sftp
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Based on the report by @Saren-Arterius[1]:

Since GNOME gvfs 1.53+, the ssh client options `ControlMaster=auto` and
`ControlPath=/run/user/$UID/gvfsd-sftp/%C` are used to mount sftp.

Since `/run/user/$UID/gvfsd-sftp` is not whitelisted, gvfs sftp mount
with nautilus will fail with a meaningless error message shown in the
UI.

Steps to reproduce[1]:

Prepare ssh server or localhost, then run:

    ssh -o"ForwardX11 no" -o"ForwardAgent no" \
        -o"PermitLocalCommand no" -o"ClearAllForwardings yes" \
        -o"NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes" \
        -o"ControlMaster auto" \
        -o"ControlPath=/run/user/${UID}/gvfsd-sftp/test" \
        -s {SSH_HOST} sftp

stderr shows:

    unix_listener: cannot bind to path /run/user/$UID/gvfsd-sftp/test.{RANDOM_STRING}: No such file or directory

And ssh exits with error code 255.

Fixes #5816.
