all non-root tests have successfully now, but one of the root-tests
failed:
=======================================================
GNU coreutils 7.4.127-d2510: tests/test-suite.log
=======================================================
1 of 1 test failed.
.. contents:: :depth: 2
FAIL: cp/preserve-gid (exit: 1)
===============================
./cp/preserve-gid: setuidgid -g 1000,1001 1000 cp -p c1 b: 1000 1001 !=
1000 1000
I think I boiled it down to:
../src/setuidgid -g 1000,1001 1000 ../src/cp -p c1 b
../src/setuidgid: failed to run command `../src/cp': Permission denied
and
execve("../src/cp", 0xFFBFFC64, 0xFFBFFC78) Err#13 EACCES
[file_dac_search]
I built coreutils somewhere in a normal HOME directory
(/vol1/home1/ecs2/depot/coreutils-7.4.127-d2510/) while
$HOME is protected with 0750.
Thus, uid 1000 doesn't have execute permissions for
/vol1/home1/ecs2/depot/coreutils-7.4.127-d2510/src/cp.
Bummer!
