Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm still struggling with a permission problem with fcrontab. |
| 4 |
On (only) one of two identical (I believe so) machines, |
| 5 |
fcrontab -e (as non-root user) gives |
| 6 |
Could not change egid to fcron[449]: Operation not permitted |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Since the fcrontab binary and all used dynamic libs are identical |
| 9 |
and the permissions on /var/spool/fron (/**/*) are |
| 10 |
identical on both machines, |
| 11 |
I tried strace. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
But how to apply strace to an SUID/SGID application. |
| 14 |
When I say |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
strace fcrontab -e |
| 17 |
it fails with the very same error now even on the machine where it works |
| 18 |
without strace. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I'd be glad if someone could throw some light on this |
| 21 |
strange situation. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Many thanks, |
| 24 |
Helmut. |
