Changing the user id or euid of the shell itself

Hi all, Ok, bear with me on this one, I am a bit new to Unix and it might take me a little bit of time to articulate my question. I know that every process has a user id and an effective user id. This seems to include the shell itself, because when I type 'ps', I see 'bash' listed as a...

[Solved] effective user id upon exec

Hello all. Despite the exec man page, the exec system call seems to turn my effective-user-id into my real-user-id. I coded and compiled 2 very simple c programs as user 1 (uid=501) The first one (A) prints real and effective user IDs and then execs the second one (B), which in turn prints...

elksemu(1)						      General Commands Manual							elksemu(1)

NAME

       elksemu - Embedded Linux Kernel Subset emulator

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/elksemu program [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       Elksemu is a program that allows 8086 ELKS programs to be run under Linux-i386. These programs can be compiled using the bcc(1) C compiler.

       It  is not usual to invoke /lib/elksemu directly, either the simple patch or kernel module distributed with it will cause the kernel to run
       /lib/elksemu with the correct arguments whenever the user tries to execute an ELKS executable directly.

OPTIONS

       There are no flag options to elksemu, the first argument is the name of the program to run the rest are arguments that are  passed  to  the
       Elks program.

       The  elksemu  program is normally installed suid-root and in this event it is able to run execute only (chmod 111) elks executables and act
       correctly on the suid permission bits on those executable. This may be considered a  security  hazard  so  elksemu  does  not  have  to	be
       installed suid-root.

SEE ALSO

       bcc(1), as86(1), ld86(1)

BUGS

       Elksemu is incomplete.

       The program may still have security bugs!
