The script will need to run thru a wrapper, or the OS will ignore the setuid bit altoghether. Compile the following C program and make it setuid, and it will work:

#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
argv[0] = "some_script_path";

setreuid(geteuid(), -1);
execv(argv[0], argv);
exit(1);
}

‘xauth list’ will give the current tokens for the first login user
SOANDSO/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 498e25150e75b1c319278813d853b1ca

you can add some or alll of them to a second login user:

xauth add SOANDSO/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 498e25150e75b1c319278813d853b1ca

vmware-cmd -l

vmware-cmd start
will start a vhost.

The problem is that the ssh session will wait for the command to complete and the ‘&’ to background the task does not seem to work. The net result is that the script running the nohup ssh command hangs.

This is because by default ssh does not allocate a TTY to run a command. You can force TTY allocation by using the ‘-t’ option to ssh, which will permit backgrounding, and the ssh command will return immediately.

In order to demonstrate, create a file /tmp/sleepy like so:

#!/bin/bash
while ( true ); do
echo `date` “sleep”
sleep 1
done

This command will invoke the script over ssh using nohup and &:

ssh -t localhost ‘nohup /tmp/sleepy &’

passwd -f <login>
