| 14 |
thing, but did find this: |
| 15 |
lstat64("/etc/sudoers", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0440, st_size=1643, ...}) = 0 |
| 16 |
setresgid32(-1, 0, -1) = 0 |
| 17 |
setresuid32(0, 1, 0) = 0 |
| 18 |
open("/etc/sudoers", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) |
| 19 |
geteuid32() = 1 |
| 20 |
setresuid32(0, 0, 0) = 0 |
| 21 |
write(2, "sudo: ", 6sudo: ) = 6 |
| 22 |
write(2, "can\'t open /etc/sudoers", 23can't open /etc/sudoers) = 23 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
