Read "man 3 system" as I suggested yesterday.
Thanks Malcolm.
See "man 3 exec" for what you want.
Changed
system(argv[1]);
to
execlp(argv[1],argv[2]);
in the source and now when it runs we see a different result
$ ./suidexec id
Executing Command 'id'
uid=501(prundle) gid=501(prundle) euid=502(matlab) groups=502(matlab)
context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
But it doesn't trick the Matlab licence manager.
$./suidexec /home/matlab/product/bin/matlab
Executing Command '/home/matlab/product/bin/matlab'
License Manager Error -39.
User/host not on INCLUDE list for feature.
How hum. Something about a square, a number and a sore head.
But now I also suspect that the Apache suexec module won't work either, so don't think
I'll go down that path, perhaps ssh will be more successful.
Cheers
