Hi List! I built UML from 2.6.10 sources with no additional uml-specific patches. My Host is also 2.6.10 with skas. I discovered that when (my) uml is running as root _every_ user-id inside the uml may chmod _every_ file on a hostfs mount and therfore become root etc... This also happens if the hostfs mount is not the root-fs.
Is the following behaviour desired? If not: what could cause it? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep root /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / hostfs rw 0 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id uid=1000(xraz) gid=104(xraz) groups=104(xraz),9997(chefs) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la /bin/dash - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83960 Aug 22 20:28 /bin/dash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ chmod 4755 /bin/dash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la /bin/dash - -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 83960 Aug 22 20:28 /bin/dash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /bin/dash -c id uid=1000(xraz) gid=104(xraz) euid=0(root) groups=104(xraz),9997(chefs) What is going wrong? Because i suppose this is a local error and not an uml-bug i don't yet include debuginfo about my uml & system here. ...Frank -- "...um das Hassen zu hasssen, und aus Prinzip keins zu haben" Fingerprint: 6CF4 0AE0 021C E9A6 62DD C248 B745 4446 B703 B7F0 -> /xraz.de/gpg.key ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
