Hi

I've to debug a program that run under root identity as a normal user.
Is it a way to do that ?
I've successfully write a little script that change de owner/group  (root.root) of the target then put the "s" bit of the target and the executable can be use for a normal user.
But I can't debug it...

Any suggestion ?

Thx

Hi,

Thanks for the answer
Can u explain a little bit more how I can use a virtual machine to solve my problem?
My problem is to dynamic change the owner of the process to debug from normal user to root...

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote.
What I said can't help you.
Sorry  :oops:

Hello,

I think it will be impossible, for security reasons. If you can debug a root application, you could get root privileges and do dangerous things...
