Re: [rtl] root id

2001-02-22 Thread Ludwig Öfele

Hello Frederic!

That's clear. I think, root always has id 0. You have to search for the
"-1" and patch it (replace it) with the "4294967295". For sure I will
give no garantee, that this will not crash your system, but you should
try it (do not log out, you might not be able to login as root again).

  I think, I had a similar problem after an update of Linux Kernel
  (without RT). Your effective user id is 4294967295 which corresponds to
  -1 if you look at it in 64-Bit-Terms. There seems to be a change of
  semantics (-1 changed to 4294967295) in the system and now the rights of
  user and the rights of files do not match any more. I can't explain it
  any better, but maybe this gives you an advice.
  I think, I fixed it by changing the id -1 in the groups or passwd file
  to something more sensful ( (unsigned int32)(-1) = 65535 ?).
 
  Have luck!

   linux-2.2.18.tar.gz
   521622 -rw-r--r--1 root root   450860 Feb 16 15:10
   rtlinux-3.0.tar.gz
  
   then patch linux with  kernel_patch-2.2 and build the new rtlinux image
  
   when I reboot my machine and logged as root my id is
  
   [root@xport /root]# id
   uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
   groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
  
   After installing all the modules of rtlinux my effective id changes :
  
   uid=0(root) gid=0(root) euid=4294967295
   groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
   (here there is no possibility to bring down the system propely !!)
  
   If I remove all the rt modules my id goes back to the original
  
   uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
   groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
  
   Rigth now I didn't find any solution
