RE: [gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

[Morgan, Austin D.]

I konw that I have been fighting with this for a while now, glad to know I
am not the only one.  I have posted this same issue to the uclibc list (
according to the web page that is the appropriate place, but have not
recieved any repsonse other than I need to set my permissions correctly.

Ok, I hacked the busybox source to print out the uid busybox things  
it is running as when I get the "this applet requires suid" error:

if (geteuid() != 0) {
   fprintf(stderr, "euid = %d, ruid = %d", geteuid(), getuid());
   // bb standard error here
}

and I get:

euid = -1, ruid = -1

What makes busybox think it is running as user -1? What does that  
mean when the uid functions return that?

Is this off-topic for Gentoo-Embedded, should I take this to the bb  
lists?

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

Brilliant! Do you have a work around, or what are you doing about it?

I just tried posting to the busybox list, hopefully that will get a  
response..

Could it have something to do with /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow being  
improperly set?

Are you NFS mounting /, like I am, and could that have anything to do  
with it?

Re: [gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

Ok, even more confusing:

I inserted this into my rcS startup script (which is the only way  
I've been able to do debugging:

echo report uid
id

and this is what I see:

uid=4294967295 gid=42967295

Wow, so somehow inittab is getting very confused about the uid...

Did Linux 2.6 increase the size of the uid's from 16 to 32 bits, or  
is this handled in uclibc? Is it possible one of those two is  
confused/misconfigured?

Re: [gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

SOLVED!

Ok, if you are using uClibc 0.9.28 or older, you need to enable 16bit  
UID interfaces in the Linux kernel. This has been fixed in svn so  
newer uclibc's will use the 32 bit interfaces.

[gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

Ok, I searched around on this one and I'm stumped. When I type 'root'  
at the login: prompt, I get the error message:

login: This applet requires root priviledges!

This seems to be a common problem, except I've never seen it reported  
for the login command. Also, I have busybox configured NOT to use  
the /etc/busybox.conf [SUID] block, and I've tried with /bin/busybox  
both SUID/GUID, and with it set to 777 permissions.

Does anyone have any idea why I can't login?

This used to work fine on my Linux 2.4 build, but now that I've  
upgraded to 2.6, everything has gone pear-shaped.

Re: [gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

[Ned Ludd]

That really should not be the case.. init->login is invoked from as a 
root proces already... if it's demanding root prives when it already has
them then that is a (security?) flaw and should be reported to Rob L.

IIRC 1.1.0 had some problems with login, try 1.1.3 it seems to be working 
fine.

Hum, trying to emerge 1.1.3 fails when trying to apply the busybox/ 
files/1.1.1/bb.patch file. I commented out that line of the ebuild  
and now it builds. Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem:

Soekris login: root
login: This applet requires root priviledges!

Soekris login:


Huh???

Re: [gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

Ok, I hacked the busybox source to print out the uid busybox things  
it is running as when I get the "this applet requires suid" error:

if (geteuid() != 0) {
   fprintf(stderr, "euid = %d, ruid = %d", geteuid(), getuid());
   // bb standard error here
}

and I get:

euid = -1, ruid = -1

What makes busybox think it is running as user -1? What does that  
mean when the uid functions return that?

Is this off-topic for Gentoo-Embedded, should I take this to the bb  
lists?
