Hi everyone,

I need some experts advice as I am not sure which of the following shouldn't be set-uid:

Thanks.

Kindest regards,

Jesus! I wonder why mount/umount are suid root. Shouldn't be necessary, should it? (they're suid root on my Redhat 6.2 box too for some reason)

So... for mount and umount, can I just issue the following command via SSH or what?

chmod -s /bin/mount
chmod -s /bin/umount

Will it affect the disk quota function?

Just curious :rolleyes:

Thanks.

Kindest regards,
Choon

chmod u-s /bin/mount
chmod u-s /bin/umount

I'm not sure if that'll break any system scripts though.
