Frank Barknecht pointed this out on linux-audio-dev, it's a horrible bug, I confirmed it in 2.6.10, and have not seen it mentioned on the list. Executive summary: run "vim" as normal user. Do ":r /etc/shadow". Permission denied. do "modprobe capability" as root in another terminal Do ":r /etc/shadow" again in the same vim. You will be able to read and write /etc/shadow as normal user. http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/bugtraq/2004-12/0390.html Lee - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
