#27351 [NEW]: su-after-popen example does not work

From: egal at staerk dot de Operating system: RedHat Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: su-after-popen example does not work Description: ------------ my comment on php.net (under egal at staerk dot de) is not reproducible under RedHat Linux, as RedHat's su is programmed not to accept passwords from a pipe. You can find out if the example will work with the command echo -e "password\n"|su where password is root's password If it rejects the password, the example will not work. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27351&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27351&r=float
