Hello! Everybody knows that files with a suid bit set can be dangerous. Well, i was asking myself today why exactly linux uses the suid bit files?! Could someone please explain that to me?
Example: ~$ ls -lah /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user -rw------- 1 root user 408 Apr 16 Ok, the suid is set for the crontab binary because you have to edit the root owned file. But why is it owned by root in the first place? Cheers, Mario -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
