Hi Lennon I'm trying to do something similar... but I'm finding some strange difficulties: I need (want) to do a wrapper, and I'm trying to do it with bash-scripting. Now, I want this wrapper setuid root... and it seems not to work. Here's what I have: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ ls -l total 4 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root users 70 2005-12-01 09:47 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ cat ./test #!/bin/bash echo -n "effective id: " id -u echo -n "real id: " id -ru [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ ./test effective id: 1000 real id: 1000 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ That is: I've got a setuid-root bash script. It prints out the effective and real uid. But when I run it, I won't have root privileges... Why?!? Is my system acting normally?
