Re: [opensuse] Suse 10.1 - suidperl isn't setuid - what's the right way to fix this?

On my SUSE 10.1 system, suidperl doesn't have its setuid bit set. Normally this would be easy to fix -- just set it. But /usr/bin/suidperl and /usr/bin/perl appear to be hardlinks to the same file, so if I set the suid bit on /usr/bin/suidperl, *all* perl scripts end up running as root -- definitely *not* what I want! I assume there's some "right" way to do this I'm overlooking.

Never mind...some more Googling found an obscure reference (in a cyrus-imapd security announcement, of all places) to setting the suid bit on /usr/bin/sperl5.8.8 instead. That took care of it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
