hello all, when i run xmcd, it reports: xmcd Fatal Error: Xmcd binary permissions error: It should be setuid root. Please have your system administrator correct this. even though: % ll /usr/bin/xmcd -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 1223 Nov 21 20:43 /usr/bin/xmcd* according to strace: write(3, "\10\20\2\0006\1\340\0\f\0\4\0]\0\340\0\10\0\26\0\245\0\0\0\f\0\4\0^\0\340\0\10\0\0\0\245\0\0\0=\0\4\0^\0\340\0\231\0\0\0\2\0\217\0=\0\4\0^\0\340\0\0\0\215\0\233\0\2\0E\1\10\0^\0\340\0\17\0"..., 2048) = 2048 setuid(0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) write(2, "xmcd Fatal Error:\nXmcd binary permissions error: It should be setuid root. Please have\nyour system"..., 128) = 128 _exit(1) = ? i believe that 3 is a fd for /etc/mtab. it seems to be choking on setuid(0). but the executable IS setuid root. any tips? thanks! pete
