#44 t0218a-pmil fails with aegis binary suid root.

[Walter Franzini]

Problem originally reported by Ralph Smith.

-------[ original report ]-------------------------
with the aegis binary suid-root, t0218a-pmil fails, claiming that the
state file is owned by a system UID (3) but should be owned by the user.
The same test works with no suid bit set for the aegis binary.

Note that this bug applies to 4.22. It seems to have been fixed in 4.23 at some point, but I have not determined what changes correct it.

I can reproduce the problem only when aegis and aelock has different execution permissions (eg aegis setuid root and aelock not).

Is this your case ralph?

Ah yes, making aelock suid root does the trick. I think this requires a change in the makefile logic and the spec file. Of course, the reason it worked for my aegis-4.23 setup is that the latter is built by cook - which does include aelock in the list of suid files - whereas I built 4.22 from the tar distribution.
