SET-UID to become root?

Post by unkno » Fri, 26 Jul 1996 04:00:00



Hi net,
       Recently I read an article, talking about suid'ing a common
command to allow root access with regular accounts. Such as

---s--x--x   1 root     staff       32768 Sep 20  1995 /bin/mail*

Can anyone tell me how to do it? ( via /bin/mail or any other set-uid
programs).

Thanks and please e-mail me.

If you need to ask, you don't need to do it!

Why don't you post one of those lame messages with subjects like:  "Teach
me how to hack, please!!"?? That'll make it easier for me to delete them
with a little script.

Face it, without us hackers, there wouldn't be such a market for computer
security.  As for his wording, he was stupid.  He should go to
alt.hackers or something and leave you alone.  I however am here to learn
more about UNIX administration.
