I am logged into nt as my nt-domain user that has local nt-admin rights. su and some other programs make a call to setuid or seteuid. In normal unix, the file 'su' is chmod to 4755 which is -rwsr-xr-x. There is no implementation of "set user execution bit on" In its very simple form the program: -------- #include #include #include main() { int ret; ret=seteuid(0); perror("err"); } -------- for me gives "not owner". There is no way to "set user execution bit" Do you get something else, if so are you logged in as I am as above? --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Before you buy. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
