I've googled for over an hour.
I'm not looking to get into a discussion on security or previous bugs
that are currently fixed. Suid in and of itself is a security issue.
But if you are using suid it it should work; I don't want to use a kludge
and I don't want to use sudo. I'm hoping it's a setting that is just
disabled by default.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
It should just work, in most cases. (I think there are a couple of base
programs that _require_ being suid to work. Otherwise you wouldn't be able
to log in to a box...)
One thought: What's the output of 'mount' for the slice you are trying to
run this script from? (Suid can be blocked on a per-mountpoint basis.)
