About:
rootpretender is a system that enables special
file operations such as the creation of block
special and character special device nodes and
unlimited chown()ing of files for non-root users
of Unix systems. It does this by faking special
file operations. For example, chown() is not
executed, and mknod() creates regular files
instead of device nodes. These operations are
remembered, so next time a process under
rootpretender's control examines an affected file
with stat() or a similar system call, the fake
information is returned. It uses LD_PRELOAD and
includes patches for rsync 2.6.6 and rsync 2.6.9
for use on systems without LD_PRELOAD support.
These make it possible to copy file ownership and
device nodes even if root access is not available
on the target.
