setuid not working on directories, or am I doing something wrong?

2008-07-25 Thread Bill Moran

$ whoami
wmoran
$ mkdir test2
$ sudo chown daemon:daemon test2
$ sudo chmod 6777 test2
$ ls -lah | grep test2
drwsrwsrwx   2 daemon  daemon   512B Jul 25 07:40 test2
$ touch test2/testfile.empty
$ ls -lah test2
total 8
drwsrwsrwx   2 daemon  daemon   512B Jul 25 07:41 .
drwxr-xr-x  59 wmoran  wheel6.0K Jul 25 07:40 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 wmoran  daemon 0B Jul 25 07:41 testfile.empty

Shouldn't testfile.empty show up as daemon:daemon? or am I
misunderstanding something about how setuid works?

This is on FreeBSD 7, but I observe the same thing on 6.3 and 6.2.

Re: setuid not working on directories, or am I doing something wrong?

2008-07-25 Thread Bill Moran
In response to Subhro [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Give me the output of 'mount' please.

In the example detailed below:
$ mount
/dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad4s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

This was in my home directory, which is /usr/home/wmoran

Again, the behaviour persists across at least three machines (this one
with 7.0, and two others with 6.X).

Hi Bill,

~From what I've read, you have to take some extra steps to get this to
work.  First, visit this page and search for suiddir:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mountsektion=8apropos=0manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE

I believe you have to run a kernel with the SUIDDIR option enabled, and
then you have to mount your filesystem with the suiddir option, as
described in the mount man page above.

Let us know if that works for you or not.

Best regards,
Greg

That explains it, Greg.  Thanks for the feedback.
