similar to: install perl with setuid emulation

I'm trying to create a setuid Perl script (yes, I am aware about the security implications), but am getting this error: % cat testsetuid.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -UT print "My real user id is $< but my effective user id is $>\n"; exit(0); % ./testsetuid.pl Can't do setuid (cannot exec sperl) I am using the stock Perl that came with CentOS 4.5. The problem I

Hi, I believe having less root setuid binaries on system is The Way ... so: Why does RH6.2 ships with /sbin/dump & /sbin/restore root setuid? These are for sysadmins, not for regular users I hope. Is /sbin/unix_chkpwd really used and what is it used for? I haven't find anything about it in pam documentation. Is it really necessary to ship /usr/bin/gpasswd and /usr/bin/newgrp? Does

Running dovecot 1.2.4 on FreeBSD using Postfix. Everything works fine normally, but deliver is executable by world. This is not normally a problem, as I don't run deliver SetUID root. But for whatever reason, when deliver is called by something that IS SetUID root I get the following error: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver must not be both world-executable and setuid-root. This

Hi, When trying to connect the HyperVisor from a binary having setuid bit set , then I got following error: Unable to perform virConnectOpenReadOnly function error(internal error: libvirt.so is not safe to use from setuid programs) My test software config is the following : -rwsr-xr-x. 1 root root 3374956 Feb 4 13:45 test As this test software needs S bit to be able to access O.S.

Hi. Does anyone use UsePrivilegedPort or have ssh(1) setuid, and if so for what use case? ssh(1) has had code in it to support installing setuid root since approximately forever, however OpenBSD has not shipped it in that configuration since 2002 (and I suspect these days no vendor does). As far as I can tell, all of the reasons for this no longer apply: - setuid root was needed to bind to a

I'm running Debian/Squeeze on an AMD64 system. For some reason they have recently stopped shipping mount.cifs with the setuid bit set. Now it appears that they have changed the internal settings to prevent it from running setuid. This means that I can't define the share in fstab with "user" and connect from my Linux user account. Mounting smb/cifs shares seems to be blocked

Hi! I've set up postfix(2.4.1) + dovecot(1.0-cvs) + dovecot-lda(1.0-cvs). Dovecot's deliver is running as vmail:vmail (according to postfix's master.cf). Now the problem (when receiving mail): deliver(leva): auth input: leva deliver(leva): auth input: uid=8006 deliver(leva): auth input: gid=8000 deliver(leva): auth input: home=/var/mail/virtual/leva deliver(leva): setuid(8006)

Hi, I just configured my Postfix installation to deliver via Dovecot LDA. But because I use separate uids for virtual domains I had to set deliver to be setuid root. Altough I find this as frequent answer to this problem with deliver LDA I am not a 100% sure - basically because I try to avoid root setuids as much as I can. What should be better solution - to have all mailboxes with one owner or

version: rsync v2.6.1 (+ a minor, unrelated patch). I'm rsyncing files (not as root) and am happy (indeed, for what I want, delighted) that the files at the target side end up owned by the account doing the rsync. However, I've found that if I have a setuid/setgid file on the source side, the target file ends up setuid/setgid too (but under a different id!). This happens whether
