Installation of product via root and non root
Hello.,

I created a virtual template via public yum repository. Assume only following usernames are there [one root and 2 non root users]

root
hvasa
jbell

For the non root users, I will have to use them to install the product tool and deploy the web application. But lets do following steps:
1. Open the VNC port on root user [root username port will be :1]
2. Access the Linux machine via vnc port :1 which is for root user
3. open the terminal and run "su - hvasa"
4. Run the installer to install the application using "runinstaller" and it throws an error :
xlib : connection to "1:0 refused by server"
xlib : Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

But if I open the vnc port for the user - hvasa [it will create :2 as port] and run the runinstaller to install the product, it is able to open the installation GUI box.

Please advice on how to solve this issue rather than directly going to non root user based vnc and install via "su - hvasa".

Thanks in advance.

Can you gain root privileges if the suid program does not belong to root?

I had a question in my test which asked where suppose user B has a program with 's' bit set. Can user A run this program and gain root privileges in any way? I suppose not as the suid program run with privileges of owner and this program will run with B's privileges and not root. (1 Reply)

Tk_GetVRootGeometry(3)					       Tk Library Procedures					    Tk_GetVRootGeometry(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Tk_GetVRootGeometry - Get location and size of virtual root for window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tk.h>

       Tk_GetVRootGeometry(tkwin, xPtr, yPtr, widthPtr, heightPtr)

ARGUMENTS

       Tk_Window tkwin (in)		 Token for window whose virtual root is to be queried.

       int xPtr (out)			 Points to word in which to store x-offset of virtual root.

       int yPtr (out)			 Points to word in which to store y-offset of virtual root.

       int widthPtr (out)		 Points to word in which to store width of virtual root.

       int heightPtr (out)		 Points to word in which to store height of virtual root.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Tk_GetVRootGeometry returns geometry information about the virtual root window associated with tkwin.  The "associated" virtual root is the
       one in which tkwin's nearest top-level ancestor (or tkwin itself if it is a top-level window) has been reparented by  the  window  manager.
       This  window  is  identified  by  a __SWM_ROOT or __WM_ROOT property placed on the top-level window by the window manager.  If tkwin is not
       associated with a virtual root (e.g.  because the window manager does not use virtual roots) then *xPtr and *yPtr will  be  set	to  0  and
       *widthPtr and *heightPtr will be set to the dimensions of the screen containing tkwin.
