Description Yoav Zach 2004-11-02 08:56:12 UTC
Description of problem:
ia32el cannot execute non-readable binaries. to fix that - please 
change the activation script: the string passed to the kernel for 
registering ia32el as the translator of elf32 binaries currently ends 
with ":P". adding the flag C (":PC") will tell the kernel to open the 
binary for ia32el and thus fix the problem.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ia32el-1.1-4

How reproducible:
consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
put the simplest 32 bit binary in a local directory (not nfs), change 
its permissions to be non-readable and try to execute it. the process 
will fail silently.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
