Well thanks, too bad I was planning on using those to make my backup
jobs easier. Anyway, here is a quick C program to accomplish the same
thing:
/* main.c */
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
extern char **environ;
execve("/sbin/halt", argv, environ);
return EXIT_SUCCESS; /* note: we never actually get here */
}
to compile it, but type 'gcc main.c'
then copy a.out to /halt
then 'chown root:wheel /halt'
then 'chmod a+s /halt'
But when I got done writing and testing the program, I thought to myself:
Why not just set /sbin/halt to SUID root?
