>Release: 1.0
>Environment:
System: SunOS gambit 5.5 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
Architecture: sun4
>Description:
Invoking "ksu" to switch to root fails with error message:
ksu: Not owner while selecting the best principal.
Lines #738-741 in src/clients/ksu/main.c are currently:
__________________________________________________________________________
/* insist that the target login uses a standard shell (root is omited) */
if (!standard_shell(target_pwd->pw_shell) && source_uid) {
fprintf(stderr, "ksu: permission denied (shell).\n");
__________________________________________________________________________
I believe the "!" character is missing to make the source code match
the comment as in the following:
__________________________________________________________________________
/* insist that the target login uses a standard shell (root is omited) */
if (!standard_shell(target_pwd->pw_shell) && !source_uid) {
fprintf(stderr, "ksu: permission denied (shell).\n");
__________________________________________________________________________
>How-To-Repeat:
At prompt, type: ksu
>Fix:
Insert "!" character in line #740 as noted above.
