Hello,
I tried to setuid an executable, so that it runs as user "SYSTEM", but
it does not work.
I tried this as an user with administrator rights:
chown SYSTEM:SYSTEM foo.exe
chmod u+s,g+s foo.exe
But running ./foo then just runs it as the current user.
What am I doing wrong?
Not running from an elevated process or account per the Windows privilege model.
If it was possible, someone would have built working su and sudo programs in the
27 years Cygwin has been emulating POSIX under versions of Windows NT which
support privileges and security.
