In article <30hk6j$m62@cronkite.ocis.temple.edu> you write: } } I need a shell script with set-uid, owned by root and to be executed by } operators. } Every system I worked on will not allow this. setuid shell scripts have "security hole" written all over them. You may want to write your script in Perl as it's setuid version has some safe guards built in.
