(UPDATED) 107078-03 on Solaris 7 (Xsun permission problem)

2007-12-25 10:09:00

I sent the SUMMARY below, but made a small mistake (thanks

Casper), the GID (root:root) of the /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun is actually:

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root root 949520 Feb 19 21:24 /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun

I apologize for this inconvenience.

Subject: SUMMARY: 107078-03 on Solaris 7 (Xsun permission problem)

The original question was:

> I installed the patch 107078-03, distributed by Sun for JDK 1.2.1, on a

> Solaris 7 machine. After application of this patch, seems to me that the

> Xsun doesn't get to write at directories /tmp/.X11-pipe and /tmp/.X11-unix

> drwxrwxr-x 2 user root 104 May 10 16:04 .X11-unix

> Hence, deny any other user to start a window manager.

> /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun is replaced by this patch.

When the patch 107078-03 is installed, the X server's permissions is

changed to:

-rwxrwxr-x 1 root bin 949520 Feb 19 21:24 /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun

It must run as set group ID root

So, changed it to:

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root bin 949520 Feb 19 21:24 /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun

^^^^
