From: Matt Braithwaite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: suexec/1120 Date: 20 Oct 1998 15:56:01 -0700 i hope i've got the format right for appending to an existing PR; i couldn't find any docs on that subject. anyway: i was curious about the status of this PR, because although the PR says it was scheduled to be fixed in 1.3.1, it doesn't seem to be fixed as recently as 1.3.3. a closely related question: i could not figure out for the life of me how suexec is supposed to know when to pass its arguments to the shell. as described in this PR, suexec prints an error message that indicates that it tried to run lstat on the entire command line that it was called for. however, our logs show that that command is not prefixed with /bin/sh. it would seem that suexec is supposed to infer this, but i certainly do not see any code to do that. am i missing it? -- Matthew Braithwaite, A-Link Network Services, Inc. 408.720.6161 ``Memory management is more important than end users, followed by the scheduler, device drivers and the update daemon. The end user ranks at the bottom somewhere, just beneath the screen saver.''
