I was flat-out wrong about this. Thanks to Ed Fishel for reminding me how this stuff works...(in a shameless attempt to provide a lousy reason for being wrong, we designed and implemented If the program does not reset the original contents, these changes DO remain in affect!!!!! Adopted authority is done by adding information to each stack-frame in a process. Therefore, when the stack-frame is removed, the adopted authority goes away. A swap (and setuid) changes the users and groups for a job. Like a swap, the setuid stuff is NOT removed when the program in a stack-frame that caused the change is removed. I apologize for providing incorrect information!!!! Patrick Botz Senior Technical Staff Member eServer Security Architect (507) 253-0917, T/L 553-0917 email: botz@xxxxxxxxxx
