Applies to: Centrify DirectControl 5.1.1 on Ubuntu platforms only.

Question:
On a Centrify Ubuntu server running Centrify DirectControl 5.0.x, after doing an apt-get install of the centrifydc package, it is noticed that sudo/dzdo commands stop working. The specific message is

tu1@ubsvr1004v1:/$ dzdo id
dzdo: must be setuid root

Is there any reason for this?

Answer:
This is a known issue with Centrify's packaging that was made available to Ubuntu (Canonical). 

Follow the steps below on the affected servers

$ su - root
Password:
# chmod 4755 /usr/share/centrifydc/libexec/dzdo

Cross-check other binaries that need to be set for setuid:

ted@b-ubuntu1204:/usr/share/centrifydc$ pwd
/usr/share/centrifydc
ted@b-ubuntu1204:/usr/share/centrifydc$ find . -perm /ug+s
./libexec/adid
./libexec/adsetgroups
./libexec/dzedit
./libexec/dzdo
