Hi there, My friend has made an application that uses a shared library which is not yet ported to OpenBSD (xereces-c). We have been trying to run it on OpenBSD using linux-compat. I know this is all set up properly as I use opera a lot.
We have a static binary for the correct arch: $ file a.out a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, statically linked, not stripped $ uname -a OpenBSD puff.langash.lan 4.1 GENERIC#1435 i386 $ ldd a.out a.out: ldd: a.out: not a dynamic executable It is executable: $ ls -al | grep a.out -rwxrwxrwx 1 didi didi 1176578 May 27 23:48 a.out So we should be able to run it: $ ./a.out ksh: ./a.out: Operation not permitted $ exec a.out ksh: a.out: Operation not permitted So I try as root (I know I shouldnt have to): # whoami root # ./a.out ksh: ./a.out: Operation not permitted # exec a.out ksh: a.out: not found $ whoami edd Notice how it logged my root shell out?!?! Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
