 I am trying to create a go program so that I can peform an action that 
 is more complex than the example I have below. I can't give sudo right so 
 run the application due to some policy we have at work that certain groups 
 can only have read permissions. The company also have a policy that states 
 any new directory / file is set with restrictive permissions. What I 
 wanted 
 to do is create a program that runs as root. (Like ping runs as root) but 
 it doesn't seem to work.

 package main

 import (
 "fmt"
 "os"
 "os/exec"
 )

 func main() {
   cmd:=exec.Command("chmod","770", "/opt/app/mnt/mydirectory")
   cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
   cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
   err:=cmd.Run()
   if err != nil {
 fmt.Println("ERROR:", err)
   }
 }

 When I compile, then do a chmod 4755, and run it. I get a permissions 
 denied. Looking for why this would be?

[go-nuts] Re: setuid root

2021-09-20 Thread Rich
OK -=- My mistake.  When you setuid a program it sets the user to the owner 
of the file. So I owned the file, so it would run as me. When I did a chown 
root myapplication -- it runs like it should. Thanks everyone for the help.

chmod 4755 is not enough. Your binary must be owned by root, to run root - 
setuid means "run as owner".

Yes. I tried running an exec: cmd=exec.Command("whoami") and it came as my 
user id not root.  But to set the permissions I'd run: 'chmod 4755 
myapplication'

[go-nuts] Re: setuid root

2021-09-20 Thread Brian Candler
Try:
cmd:=exec.Command("id")

If it's definitely running as root then it could be other system-level 
restrictions: SELinux for example.  If so, "dmesg" output may give you a 
clue, logging the policy violation.

You mean "chown root app; chmod 4755 app" ?
