Hi,
I'm using Linux 2.2.16, tclhttpd3.0.3 and tcl8.4. Setuid (as compiled, from
source) doesn't seem to work as I'd expect.
Here's what I've narrowed it down to:
sharedtech:/home/colin/Desktop/tclhttpdtest# tclsh8.4
% package require setuid
1.0
% setuid 33
% whoami
www-data
% exit
At this point, it hangs (after exit, never terminating.)
The other symptom I noticed is that no fileevents seemed to trigger. This
prevents my use of tclhttpd in setuid mode, so I'll either have to run as root
(and damn the consequences) or use a non-standard port.
I suspect, strongly, some adverse interaction between threads and the
setuid.so, although I'm not sure what. Note that I've compiled these from
source.
Colin.
