Setuid root and chown

I am trying to run chown and chmod from a script owned by root. The permissions are set to 4755 so that users can execute the script as root. However, when I run the script as a user other than root, I get "Operation not permitted" for both chown and chmod. Any ideas as to why this is? (6 Replies)

What keeps me from abusing setuid(0) and programs with setuid bit set?

Just learning about the privilege escalation method provided by setuid. Correct me if I am wrong but what it does is change the uid of the current process to whatever uid I set. Right ?

Sudo to root, but keep my own aliases?

0STORE-SECURE-ADD(1)													      0STORE-SECURE-ADD(1)

NAME
0store-secure-add -- add an implementation to the system cache SYNOPSIS
0store-secure-add DIGEST DESCRIPTION
This command imports the current directory into the system-wide shared Zero Install cache, as /var/cache/0install.net/implementa- tions/DIGEST. This allows a program downloaded by one user to be shared with other users. The current directory must contain a file called '.manifest' listing all the files to be added (in the format required by DIGEST), and this file must have the given digest. If not, the import is refused. Therefore, it is only possible to add a directory to the cache if its name matches its contents. It is intended that it be safe to grant untrusted users permission to call this command with elevated privileges. To set this up, see below. SETTING UP SHARING
To enable sharing, the system administrator should follow these steps: Create a new system user to own the cache: adduser --system zeroinst Create the shared directory, owned by this new user: mkdir /var/cache/0install.net chown zeroinst /var/cache/0install.net Use visudo(8) to add these lines to /etc/sudoers: Defaults>zeroinst env_reset,always_set_home ALL ALL=(zeroinst) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/0store-secure-add Create a script called 0store-secure-add-helper in PATH to call it. This script must be executable and contain these two lines: #!/bin/sh exec sudo -S -u zeroinst /usr/bin/0store-secure-add "$@" < /dev/null The other Zero Install programs will call this helper script automatically. FILES
/var/cache/0install.net/implementations System-wide Zero Install cache. LICENSE
Copyright (C) 2009 Thomas Leonard. You may redistribute copies of this program under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. BUGS
This program is EXPERIMENTAL. It has not been audited. Do not use it yet in security-critial environments. The env_reset line in sudoers may not be required. sudo(1) seems to do it automatically. If sudo let us check whether we could call a command then we could switch to using it automatically, instead of needing to add the helper script. Currently, sudo delays for one second and writes to auth.log if we try to use this system when it hasn't been set up.
