Full Discussion: Not able to execute an exe file from my location
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Not able to execute an exe file from my location Post 302701877 by scottaazz on Monday 17th of September 2012 12:28:29 PM

The issue is the file permission
If you look at the ls output indicating there is a "s" in the group.

rwxr-sr-x

The "s" in the group position indicates that when you execute this program, your group is changed to the owner of this program. From your description, the exe is probably trying to access something that is only accessable by users defined to be in the original owners group.

The detailed descriptions of the issue you are having can be found in sgid file permission.

sg

newgrp(1)						      General Commands Manual							 newgrp(1)

NAME

       newgrp -  change effective group ID sg - execute command with different group ID

SYNOPSIS

       newgrp [-l] [group]
       sg group -c command

DESCRIPTION

       The  newgrp  command changes the user's real and effetive group ID by replacing the current shell with a new shell. A new shell is launched
       even if an error occours.

       A password is requested if the group has a password and the user is not listed in the group file as being a member of that group. The pass-
       word can be changed with the gpasswd(1) command.

       If the new effective group ID is not in the supplementary group list, newgrp will add the new group ID to the supplementary list, too.

       With  no  operands  and options, newgrp changes the user's group IDs (real and effective) back to the group specified in password and group
       file.

       The sg command works like the newgrp command, except that it executes the given command with /bin/sh and upon exit the group ID of the cur-
       rent shell is not changed.

OPTIONS

       -l, --login
	      reinitialize the environment as if the user logged in.

       --help Print a help list.

       -u, --usage
	      Print a short usage message.

       -v, --version
	      Print program version.
