A few days ago, I posted to the users mailing list:

I got win4lin V2.0 to work again yesterday and it again no longer
worked today, a day later: `dos' would complain that permissions
or privileges were incorrect. I knew something was breaking
after 1 day, which made me look at suidmanager on Debian since it
runs a cron job every day to reset permissions. Sure enough,
when the alien-created deb package is unpacked, you get the
following:
-r-sr-xr-x 1 6146 124 17600 Nov 9 18:55 /opt/win4lin/bin/mountc
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 6196 Nov 9 18:55 /opt/win4lin/mcd
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 348748 Nov 9 18:55 /opt/win4lin/publicbin/dosexec
This works. As soon as suidmanager runs, the root:bin ownership
is changed to 6146.124 (yuck!):
# /etc/cron.daily/suidmanager
suidregister: /opt/win4lin/mcd PERMISSION MISMATCH: was root.bin 4555 changed to
6146.124 4555
suidregister: /opt/win4lin/publicbin/dosexec PERMISSION MISMATCH: was root.bin 4555
changed to 6146.124 4555
This no longer works!
The solution is to edit /etc/suid.conf (if the suidmanager
package is installed), changing 6146.124 to root.bin :
win4lin /opt/win4lin/bin/mountc root bin 4555
win4lin /opt/win4lin/mcd root bin 4555
win4lin /opt/win4lin/publicbin/dosexec root bin 4555
Of course, a long-term solution would be for netraverse to support
Debian again and to make a proper package. ;-)
