Hi, I have two Macs here which both exhibit the curious symptom that non-root users within a chroot can't run perl scripts with '-e SCRIPT' from the command line.
bar:~# uname -a
Linux bar 2.2.20 #1 Mon Nov 26 09:26:36 GMT 2001 m68k unknown
bar:~# perl -e 'print "Working.\n"'
Working.
bar:~# su - build
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'print "Working.\n"'
Working.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ logout
bar:~# chroot /usr/local/chroot/unsta
bar:/# perl -e 'print "Working.\n"'
Working.
bar:/# su - build
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ perl -e 'print "Working.\n"'
Can't open perl script "-e": No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$
I'm stumped. Any ideas why that should happen..? The chroot has a mounted
/proc file system, its /dev looks sane, /tmp is mode 1777. I can't think of
anything else to check. My favorite debugging tool, strace, traces exactly
one system call (the 'execve') on this kernel and then ends itself.
Ideas? Newer kernels where strace works would be greatly appreciated... I'd
build one myself, but I have a chicken-and-egg problem here. :-/
