Re: Stopping a Service with cgi


Hello,

I have found the right thing for starting the service
using cgi.

There is a software called super
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/super-3.12.1-1.i386.rpm

Install this and configure the same.
Put relevent entries in /etc/super.tab
Your script will run with full root privileges.


Have a great day.

Regards
Nishanth

Can there be a setuid perl script which when
executed, runs with the
privileges of owner of the file
ie:-
I am root
chown root:root /bin/myscript.pl
chmod +s /bin/myscript.pl

Now I am a local user
/bin/myscript.pl

and myscript.pl contains some code which need root
privileges to run.

Yes; this can be done with perl, depending upon OS
and configuration.
Some systems don't support secure set-id scripts,
but you can use a
"wrapper" to make your program run set-id. See the
perlsec
documentation for the details, and be careful about
security issues.
Hope this helps!
