Ok, turn of security related flames for this please.
We have an archaic piece of software that we are trying to replace
but it has been movied over from a SCO system and is useing the iBCS
binary compatibilty. On the Sco box it was set uid and ran the ps
command
but on linux we get an error message:
This /bin/ps not secure for set uid operation.
we can make this work when logged in as root or su - to root but we have
tried everything and cant even get sudo to work. I am guessing that
there
is a kernel security that doesnt let programs that access the /proc
filesystem
to be able to run suid?
Is there a way we can get around this untill we can come up with a
better
system??????
