Race Condition Zutao Zhu 10/09/09

Outline Race Condition –Some functions –File format of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow –Input Redirection Format-string (if time allowed)

Functions unlink() and symlink() fstat() seteuid()

File Format of /etc/passwd

Username: It is used when user logs in. It should be between 1 and 32 characters in length. Password: An x character indicates that encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow file. User ID (UID): Each user must be assigned a user ID (UID). UID 0 (zero) is reserved for root and UIDs 1-99 are reserved for other predefined accounts. Further UID are reserved by system for administrative and system accounts/groups. Group ID (GID): The primary group ID (stored in /etc/group file) User ID Info: The comment field. It allow you to add extra information about the users such as user's full name, phone number etc. This field use by finger command. Home directory: The absolute path to the directory the user will be in when they log in. If this directory does not exists then users directory becomes / Command/shell: The absolute path of a command or shell (/bin/bash). Typically, this is a shell. Please note that it does not have to be a shell.

File Format of /etc/shadow

User name : It is your login name Password: It your encrypted password. The password should be minimum 6-8 characters long including special characters/digits Last password change (lastchanged): Days since Jan 1, 1970 that password was last changed Minimum: The minimum number of days required between password changes i.e. the number of days left before the user is allowed to change his/her password Maximum: The maximum number of days the password is valid (after that user is forced to change his/her password) Warn : The number of days before password is to expire that user is warned that his/her password must be changed Inactive : The number of days after password expires that account is disabled Expire : days since Jan 1, 1970 that account is disabled i.e. an absolute date specifying when the login may no longer be used

Input Redirection./vulp < input You don’t need to use keyboard to provide the input for scanf(). Use the content of “input”.

Note Remember to save a copy of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to other directory Before you reboot, make sure that /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow are correct
