Hi,
What does "a.out" doing ?
It try to launch bash in setuid root ?
You shall know that bash not work by default in setuid root, you must use "-p" option.
In man:
Quote:
If the shell is started with the effective user (group) id not equal to the real user (group) id, and the -p option is not
supplied, no startup files are read, shell functions are not inherited from the environment, the SHELLOPTS, BASHOPTS, CDPATH,
and GLOBIGNORE variables, if they appear in the environment, are ignored, and the effective user id is set to the real user
id. If the -p option is supplied at invocation, the startup behavior is the same, but the effective user id is not reset.
Regards.
