xmcd_2.2-4.deb problems
Howdy...
The current hamm xmcd package seems to not like running on my machine.
First, it complains about having insufficient privlidges:
overmind:/temple/sw/linux/debian ] /usr/X11R6/bin/xmcd xmcd Fatal Error:
Xmcd binary permissions error: It should be setuid root. Please have
your system administrator correct this.
It's setgid cdrom, and /dev/scd0 is owned by group cdrom, so it should
have sufficient permissions to read the device:
overmind:/temple/sw/linux/debian ] ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xmcd
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root cdrom 230572 Oct 13 08:12 /usr/X11R6/bin/xmcd
overmind:/temple/sw/linux/debian ] ls -l /dev/scd0
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Dec 19 1996 /dev/scd0
I'm also in group cdrom, which shouldn't matter since the binary is
setgid:
overmind:/temple/sw/linux/debian ] grep cdrom /etc/group
cdrom:*:24:peewee
overmind:/temple/sw/linux/debian ] ypcat group | grep cdrom
cdrom:*:24:peewee
Setting the binary +s allowed it to run, and start sucking all available
memory:
overmind:/var/adm ] ps -auxww | grep xmcd
peewee 28825 0.0 0.5 836 360 p0 S 19:17 0:00 grep xmcd
root 28809 43.3 50.7 64088 32116 p1 D 19:16 0:24 /usr/X11R6/bin/xmcd
If it matters, it was attempting to do a CDDB lookup at the time.
