I have been asked to enable the following kernel option:
SetUID/SetGID - Allow directories to inherit their owner from the
parent directory.
The generic kernel under FreeBSD6.3 is what we presently use on
the system in question and I see no commented-out option for
compilation.
We see in the fstab the following:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
#Default is for no SUIDDIR.
#/dev/mfid0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
#Living a bit more dangerously, we turned it back on.
/dev/mfid0s1a / ufs rw,SUIDDIR 1 1
This looks like it may address the issue, but a test shows that
it does not appear to happen.
Where do I use this option?
This seems to be my day for asking strange questions but
I have run up against a couple of things that are not in my
usual sphere of knowledge and nothing jumped out at me from
documentation.
