Hi On normal homedirs the owner of the files is the owner of the homedir. That means he/she can alter the file permissions in the files he/she ownes (with chmod)
I tested the following: As a normal user i crated a file in my homedir. % touch test I changed it to a exec file. % chmod 700 test No i set the superuser bit % chmod +s test It worked(!!!!!). That means that a user can download for example a BASH binary and set the superuser bit for it ans has root privileges ??!! Am i missing here something? cheers, Raffaele -- Werden Sie mit uns zum "OnlineStar 2002"!
