Re: trouble writing a setuid script

Hi,

I'm trying to write a setuid script and can't make it happen. I've
trimmed it down to the very simple example below trying to have a
logger.pl script add a message to a log file. This is my Bash
transcript with all the pertinent details.
[code snipped]
(I don't run into any errors when writing the same program in C.)

Yeah, I tried to do something like that once, too. Turned out the setuid
flag is ignored on scripts; it's only allowed on (binary) executables.
So that's also why your compiled C program works.
