Hello all I have a situation that requires that a python script, that is run from a webpage (via php exec()) must be run with root privileges.
The sysadmin already set the setuid bit on the script, but it still fails when it tries to write to any file that only root has write access to. I read somewhere that any scripts that start with "#!" will no honour the setuid bit... I also tried os.setuid(0), with the setuid bit on, but this call failed. I am now out of ideas :( Any sugestions? Tiago -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
