-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 186700 Feb 6 2003 /usr/bin/rsync*
Without any SUID/SGID, rsync is still executable as an ordinary user on this
Mandrake system, even if I su to a different (ordinary) user.
man rsync says:
o does not require root privileges
Is something else going on?
Could it be a path permission problem - perhaps the full path to rsync is
needed (like /sbin programs on RedHat)? (Or update the local path /
.bash_profile?)
Some kind of NFS/non-default ext2 mount for that user's home dir that has
noexec or something?
