Hi, I'm doing some large-scale security experiments on Debian security. I'm using UML to do the whole thing on a cluster.
Hostfs seems to make everything owned by root -- even files created by non-root users. I'm currently using 2.4.26-3 (Debian package). I found a few posts via Google mentioning a patch to fix this, but no other information. What is the modified behavior of hostfs permissions? Has this been integrated into a newer version, or is it in cvs, or if not, are there plans to? [I think the ideal behavior, if UML is running as non-root, would be if there were a temporary mapping of ownership (e.g. so chown works) -- but that would be a lot of work to implement.] I would be happy if there were uid and gid mount options as many other fs types have -- to treat all files in the entire mount as owned by a particular user/group. -- Karl 2005-06-09 22:10 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
