hello all, when i run xmcd, it reports:
xmcd Fatal Error:
Xmcd binary permissions error: It should be setuid root. Please have
your system administrator correct this.
even though:
% ll /usr/bin/xmcd
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 1223 Nov 21 20:43 /usr/bin/xmcd*
according to strace:
write(3,
"\10\20\2\0006\1\340\0\f\0\4\0]\0\340\0\10\0\26\0\245\0\0\0\f\0\4\0^\0\340\0\10\0\0\0\245\0\0\0=\0\4\0^\0\340\0\231\0\0\0\2\0\217\0=\0\4\0^\0\340\0\0\0\215\0\233\0\2\0E\1\10\0^\0\340\0\17\0"...,
2048) = 2048
setuid(0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "xmcd Fatal Error:\nXmcd binary permissions error: It should be
setuid root. Please have\nyour system"..., 128) = 128
_exit(1) = ?
i believe that 3 is a fd for /etc/mtab. it seems to be choking on
setuid(0). but the executable IS setuid root.
any tips?
thanks!
pete
