[Mono-list] Aquire Root Privileges

[Ian Norton]

I think the op meant you to use chmod and chown to make the exe setguid 

I will admit that i've not tried this yet. You make have to provide a small shell script wrapper like so.

#!/bin/bash
mono path/to/myprog.exe

And then do :

$ su -
$ chown root myscript
$ chmod 700 myscript
$ chmod u+s myscript
$ exit
$ ./myscript

Thanks for the idea. I did a lot of research but I don't get it work. I tried
to create a small application for testing purposes:
<code>
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace AdminTest {
class AdminTest {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
Console.WriteLine("Current uid/gid: {0}/{1}", getuid(),
getgid());
int resultGid = setgid(0);
if(resultGid != 0)
Console.WriteLine("Errorcode gid: {0}",
Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
int resultUid = setuid(0);
if(resultUid != 0)
Console.WriteLine("Errorcode uid: {0}",
Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
Console.WriteLine("Aquire root rights {0}", result);
}
[DllImport ("libc", SetLastError=true)]
public static extern int setgid(int gid);
[DllImport ("libc", SetLastError=true)]
public static extern int getgid();
[DllImport ("libc", SetLastError=true)]
public static extern int setuid(int uid);
[DllImport ("libc", SetLastError=true)]
public static extern int getuid();
}
}
</code>

After compiling and executing I only get:
<code>
Current uid/gid: 501/20
Errorcode gid: 1
Errorcode uid: 1
Aquire root rights -1/-1
Current uid/gid: 501/20
</code>
I tried the same exe under (sudo su):
<code>
Current uid/gid: 0/0
Aquire root rights 0/0
Current uid/gid: 0/0
</code>
I expected some kind of "Mono wants to access administrator
privileges"-Popup of the keychain but nothing happened. I would still need
to do some chown and chmod stuff (chown root.root, chmod +s) to allow the
application accessing root privileges and therefore I still have the same
problem. How do all those installers solve this problem?

Cheers
