e's makefiles install those binaries and do the chmod u+s on them when you do "make install". of course it assumes you install as root. normally only root can write to those places. if somehow you have broken e's install and removed the setuid bits - then of course this will be a problem and fail. you would have to add back the +s. anything else causing that to fail would be something deeper down in your system - eg kernel. that or there is another binary hat is setuid that has had its setuid bit removed at/after install - whoever/whatever removed this setud bit is what you want to look at/talk to and fix. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
