Ah, there's the problem. I saw earlier that the fcron directory is suid root, which is redundant as it has no effect. I didn't check the actual binary though which is suid fcron. I would have thought that suid is ignored if the binary is run by root, but apparently not. And why is fcrontab not suid root anyway like crontab is: nazgul system32 # ll /usr/bin/crontab -rws--x--- 1 root cron 30888 Sep 4 2006 /usr/bin/crontab* alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
