Hi Folks.
How to gain temporarily root privileges in a pascal program ?
I need to 'ping' an IP address and for ping to work (Indy 10) I need
to be root.
Usage of another TCP component is not an option.
Another way is to execute a shell and intertpret the results but I'd
to avoid it if possible.
It is on Linux system.
You can't do this. Strictly forbidden.
The usual way to do this is to make the program setuid root, do the
ping, and then setuid() to some normal user ASAP.
If you need to do it at regular intervals, then you must execute a
separate program.
Like a service ?
OK, that's what I suspected. Thanks.
Antonio.
Michael.
