Hello.
I think I see the problem with regard to setuid programs and nfs.
It's in the kernel.
It's in the file kernel-source-2.0.27/fs/nfs/proc.c.
Alas the same code is repeated in several places, so I'm not sure how to
fix it: there must be a reason for exact this coding.
Does anybody here
I've mailed to debian-user twice earlier about this but I haven't
gotten any responses at all.
If you know NFS, please try this an tell me if it works for you or
not.
As it doesn't work for me and I think it wont work for you, I suppose
I'd file a bug report but I don't know if it's the
Thanks for the response, I've been feeling abandoned lately!
According to joost witteveen:
Appearently, stat-ing a file in a directory that is only readable for
root from a program that is setuid root, that is on a nfs mounted
partition fails.
Does adding a no_root_squash (like below)
Does adding a no_root_squash (like below) change anything?
/directory host(no_root_squash)
It's already there:
OK, I didn't want to test anything myself, as that meant adding
no_root_squash myself. But I've done that now, and I see what
you mean.
I don't really think this has
According to joost witteveen:
I don't really think this has anything to do with setuid stuff
or anything, as ls running as root itself doesn't see anything
eighter.

Oops. Disregard my last message, which didn't contain anything new. I
slipped on the keys.

Yes, but it's /var that's mounted. On the client (kant, descartes is the
server):
kant:~ mount

[Mailed to debian-user as well as this relevant (bug in my test program).]
According to joost witteveen:
Are you sure you didn't have a typo there? didn't you mean
/var/clients/kant/var/spool/cron/atjobs/.SEQ
instead of
/var/spool/cron/.SEQ
(there's at least a atjobs missing).
