Hi, I've got a shell script for installing a binary. In this script I set the binary to mode 4755. When I 'ls' the binary from within the shell script I see that it has the setuid bit set. When I exit the shell script, the binary is no longer setuid.
I can setuid the binary from outside the shell script. How can I setuid from within a shell script and have it stay that way? e.g. $ ./setuid_test_script.sh mode of `/nfsroot/bin/busybox' changed to 4755 (rwsr-xr-x) -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 515956 2008-07-18 11:46 /nfsroot/bin/busybox $ ls /nfsroot/bin/busybox -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 515956 2008-07-18 11:45 /nfsroot/bin/busybox $ sudo chmod 4755 /nfsroot/bin/busybox $ ls -al /nfsroot/bin/busybox -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 515956 2008-07-18 11:46 /nfsroot/bin/busybox Aras -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/setuid-from-shellscript-isn%27t-permanent-tp18521209p18521209.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
