Subject: Support for setuid binaries
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 23:20:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a9b25xb2.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello,
Commit 09e028f adds support for setuid binaries. Since the store cannot
contain setuid binaries, we use the same technique as NixOS: setuid
binaries are created when booting (or when switching configurations.)
That is, for each setuid program, a hard link or a copy of the
executable is created under /run/setuid-programs and make setuid-root.
You can test it by running:
./pre-inst-env guix system vm build-aux/hydra/demo-os.scm
and running for instance ‘ping’ as guest from there.
Ludo’.
