We have a product that uses an the older root tool helper process from
MoreSecurity.
We have installations of the product where the setuid-root bit doesn't
seem to work. The program always asks for authentication (outside of
the 5 minute timeout period).
The tool lives in a framework inside of /Library/Frameworks. On other
installations this works fine. On this installation, the setuid bit
seems to have no affect.
The system is connected to Active Directory if that makes any
difference.
What could be happening here? What situations would cause setuid-root
to fail to launch a tool as root?
Thanks for the help,
...Duane
