Can RBAC prevent a setuid program from running?

edited Dec 28, 2011 8:17AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
Hello,
I was just wondering if RBAC can prevent a setuid root program from running as long as the owner cannot elevate privileges as per RBAC configuration.

I mean suppose a user cannot elevate privileges at all, ie, it's just "Basic User".
But suppose this user now executes a setuid file owned by root.
Will he succeed?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

Howdy, Stranger!
