Hello, I've got strange problem with centos (as well as rhel btw) chrooted environment. First of all I created simple directory with only the libs for 'bash' and 'id' tools: ---- # chroot testcase/ bash-3.1# id uid=0 gid=0 groups=0,1,2,3,4,6,10 ---- Yes, I even do not have /etc/ directory inside testcase/ , but id shows groups from the _host_ root account. I tried to create full chroot with all the libs and tools based on debian testing, but the same result: # id uid=0 gid=0 groups=0,1,2,3,4,6,10 but if I do # ls /etc/shadow /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/shadow then # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(daemon),2(bin),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(uucp) Args, quite strange for me. I tried to use strace to identify where is the problem, and only one thing I found is 530 error on read() : [cut] open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 getgroups32(0, NULL) = 7 getgroups32(7, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10]) = 7 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|0x80000) = -530 write(1, "uid=0 gid=0 groups=0,1,2,3,4,6,1"..., 34) = 34 [cut] 530 is EIOCBRETRY according to errno.h, but, honestly, I do not know what does it mean and what I can do with it. SElinux - disabled via /etc/selinux/config. CentOS release 4.4 (Final) с ядром 2.6.9-67.ELsmp. as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 Could anyone please explain what is going on and what have I done wrong?
