It seems like this wan't an error in the handling of the setuid bit after all. It seems like the EUID is reset to UID after getpwnam is called. Attaching a simple test program. Compile and change the owner to root and set the setuid bit.
Expected output: EUID0: 0, EUID1: 0 On systems with broken LDAP support (EUID1 will be set to the UID of the process): EUID0: 0, EUID1: 1000 ** Attachment added: "getpwnam_xid_test.c" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43116436/getpwnam_xid_test.c -- NSS using LDAP on Karmic breaks 'su' and 'sudo' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
