Linn) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sun Subject: suid-root and dynamic libs Keywords: Windows Message-ID: <4553@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 30 Jan 90 14:51:37 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 10 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 17, message 12 of 12 According to the ERRATA file for X.V11R4, suid-root programs will only dynamically link against libraries in /usr/lib and /usr/5lib. Sure enough, xterm doesn't work when I put the libs where I want them. I haven't been able to find any reference to this in the docs; can anyone point to a specific document with more information on this? Please reply directly to me; if there is sufficient interest, I will post a summary. David
