Hello,
I don't understand why you need to be root, I would suggest finding another means, for security reasons. Can you explain a little more about this? That said, here is one way you can do it : Have you seen the sudo command? You can give root access to specific users ( or groups of users ) to run specific commands ( or groups of commands ). You then just need to preface your command with "sudo", like instead of : cp /tmp/file /root/file You do : sudo cp /tmp/file /root/file HTH, Rob Helmer On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 11:35:01AM +0100, Paolo Cavicchini wrote: > > Hello, > I need to write a CGI script able to launch, from an Intranet Web page, an > executable on my Linux RH. > To do that I need to run the executable as root because it works fine only > if I've got root's privileges. > The problem is: I cannot do that. > > Could anyone gives me any help? > Thank you > Paolo > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
