I wanted to run a shell script program that needs to run with root permissions, and I
wanted to
be able to start this script without su'ing. I tried to set the suid bit on the
program, but I
found out that the suid bit only works for binary executables. Then I wrote a simple c
program
that starts up the shell program through the system() call, and I chown the program to
root and
set the suid bit on it, but for some reason the shell still wouldn't run as root. What
am I
doing wrong and is there any way aroud this?
Thanks,
-Yossie
