Re: Re: linking "setuid" binary with shared objects
Hello
Yes it is true that setuid binary ignores
LD_LIBRARAY_PATH .
I enetred path (where .so's ) are stored
in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig program
as root , then also it was not able to pick.
Only when i copy my .so's in to /usr/lib or /lib
it works and i dont want to do this because
it may corrupt these directories
Is there any other solution????
Thanks
Murali

That's a security feature. The dynamic linker does not allow doing this.
I believe there is a way around by adding certain perms to the shared
.so's, but the real way is to add the path your are putting into
LD_LIBRARAY_PATH to /etc/ld.so.conf.
