Hello,
I am using the Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf),
Kernel 2.4.2-2smp on a 2-processor i586.
I tried to move a file called "appendtape.sh" owned
by root to another file "appendtape.sh.tmp" when I logged in as myself ( not
root ). I also belong to backup group ( as shown by the permissions below ).
This file "appendtape.sh" is placed in my home directory.
Following is the file and the related
permissions.
-rw-r--r-- 1
root backup 2231 Apr
30 23:49 appendtape.sh
Following is the command
$mv appendtape.sh appendtape.sh.tmp
This operation should have failed since no one
other than the owner ( in this case root ) should be permitted to move this
file. However, this command was successful. We feel that this should not have
happened and hence, it is a bug.
We tried the same experiment on SVR4 and Unixware
Operating Systems where it failed.
Please let us know if this report is correct and
how this needs to be fixed. We would be interested in knowing the
fix.
Please acknowledge this mail.
Thanks and Regards
