Hallo, Joseph A. Sarlo hat gesagt: // Joseph A. Sarlo wrote:
Is it possible that your setup has the gripd python script (the file gripd or gripd.py in older versions)owned by root or has setuid bit set for gripd? The gripd pd object tries to drop setuid root privileges before running the python script by setting the effective user id to the actual userid (line 587 of gripd.c).
I checked the permissions of the relevant files: the gripd distribution has all my userid and no s-bit set, python is owned by root.root, but also without suid.
I did remove the suid bit of /usr/bin/pd temporarily and then gripd opens its window just fine. Changing it back: no success again.
But then I did some RTFM, and voila, the manpage for seteuid ist the same as the one for setegid ;) and I suspected, that something is wrong with the *group*id. It was, /usr/bin/pd had g+s set. I remove this, and now I can enjoy gripd.
As a thank you for your help and patience, here's what I added at the end of the makefile, because I got tired doing it by hand ^_^ # .PHONY: clean clean: rm -f gripd.pd_linux ../gripd.pd_linux *.o #
ciao
