And to follow up to my brief response, you _can_ strace a setuid executable with an extra step. If you run strace as root, you can pass the "-u <username>" argument, and it will switch users first (but still trace correctly). So, as root, you could do: # strace -u foo -f su - -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
