Hello,
I am trying to write a password changing program. For this I have a mod_perl subroutine from where I am trying to execute a perl script(with suid permissions 4711), which is a wrapper and in turn calls the usermod command on linux with the old and new passwords. The problem I am having: 1: The usermod command doesn't get executed. I have tried debugging this...by having a log file(/usr/local/apache/logs) and the mod_perl process does open the wrapper script..but then does nothing. It does not execute the command. What am I doing wrong ? I know there might be some quirks with suid permissons and I would like to know how can I overcome this. I have something like below from mod_perl subroutine: my $ret_val = `$wrapper`; Within the wrapper perl script, I call usermond with the passwds by doing: $ret = `$usermondcmd 2>&1` Any help would be much appreciated. thanks a lot. -Tushar
