As we know that there are various syscalls in linux kernel,the sys_mkdir(),sys_open(),sys_fchmodat(),sys_fchownat ().Then,we can intercept it . Today i do a work about it,catch the chown syscall. The file is "myfile",the owner is "my".We can use the command "chown root myfile",then,"myfile"'s owner will change to root.After i used strace for a look,i found the syscall in this situation is sys_fchownat.I catch it,every time i use the chown command to change the owner of "myfile",then a printk will into log. But,when i use the gui environment,right-click the directory which has "myfile" in it,then choose "open as administrator",open the directory,then right-click "myfile"->properties->permissions,then change the own by mouse.Nothing happened.... So,gnome do not invoke the syscall? _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
