Perhaps this should be posted to other group
but I only have time to read this one + some local
ones ;).
OK, here is the beef.
Either I don't understand the concept of suid/sgid
(**very** possible) or there is something wrong.
Say root creates a script like follows:
        cat $*
and sets it suid.
Now normal user could cut any r--.....
file with it, right? Well I (as normal user) get usuall
cat:foo not owner
where foo belongs to root and has r-------- perms.
Also root's script with:
        echo "user ID" $UID
        echo "effective user ID" $EUID
reports calling user's ID twice even when set sgid and x
for others.
Also my elm with root:mail ownership would't work right
even with suid. I had to sgid it too.
(It wouldn't be able to create folder in /usr/spool/mail
which is also root:mail).
On the other hand pcomm with suid set enables anyone to
become root just by jumping to subshell.
Any ideas?
(I'm using 0.96cpl2 w/o SCSI support).
