I think SELinux may be the problem, especially since its killing both the mud and the php calls. Ill turn it off, but since I have to reboot the box I wont have an answer back to you guys until I can do that.
On a side note, how can I make a ./server_restart script execute as a user from their /home/<user> directory when the system is rebooted? -Valnir From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Wilson Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 2:03 PM To: Nathan Kodak Subject: Re: system calls failing For some reason the list isn't letting me post. I think it might be SELinux. It's been a while since I've messed with FC, so I don't remember how, but try disabling SELinux and see if that helps. -David On 4/19/07, Valnir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm running on Fedora Core 6, and it seems to actually be blocking all the system() calls, since even when I do: if ( system(NULL) != 0 ) bug( "System call failure!", 0 ); it throws the bug even there. -Valnir -----Original Message----- From: Chad Ziccardi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 11:36 AM To: Nathan Kodak Subject: Re: system calls failing On Apr 19, 2007, at 10:40 AM, Valnir wrote: > Yes, I've already checked that.

For php it's easy to block system calls, but I'm not sure if that is easily done via kernel modules to BSD/linux. I believe it's possible in solaris with the proper RBAC based access. Does it deny them for all system calls? I'm wondering if it's not in the path, or if they are actually blocking system() calls. Does something like this work? #include <stdarg.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char ** argv[]) { system("/bin/ls -l"); } -- Chad Ziccardi, Professional Slacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." -- ROM mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe here ->>> http://www.rom.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rom -- ROM mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe here ->>> http://www.rom.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rom
