I have a natural passion for programming, especially to create practical software for everyday use. Ultimately I want to put my skills to use in the field of green energy or health, as I am very concerned about these areas and I believe that having great software could help a lot and make a big difference.

comment A bunch of files have 777 permissions
Normally you don't need to check the permissions every time, unless you want to be suspicious. It's strange how those application files got such permissions.

comment setuid programs don't seem to run setuid in TinyCore Linux
The live CD I use is tiny, 8MB to begin with. I doubt it would be that sophisticated, but maybe you're right, I should check on this (not sure how...). As per /tmp, I used that only to simplify the question. In my real setup it's in my home directory, not mounted nosuid. In fact, the vulnerability test works in the native environment, then I chroot into it there it doesn't.

comment setuid programs don't seem to run setuid in TinyCore Linux
I don't execute anything from a mounted CD. While remastering the CD, the chroot directory is on a regular filesystem not a CD mount. When booting into the completed remastered live CD, the files are on the root filesystem, which is NOT mounted with nosuid.

It doesn't have to. If you try the above steps it should work in any Linux system, and when you run PATH=.:$PATH ./prog, the file /tmp/test.txt will be created and owned by uid=1200, even if it does not exist.

comment SSH tunnel hanging
I run autossh within a screen session. It's better then background, as I have a dedicated "window" for it that I can detach from and re-attach later to check on the status.

You don't have to persuade anybody. You can use a DVCS by yourself and enjoy all the benefits.
