Hunt as I may I cannot find anything in man pages or in HOWTOs as to what this term means nor how to use it. Could someone please post an explaination and some examples of it's use. Uhm... Hmmm... That's a pretty basic Unix question. You should look up any decent Unix resource and read up on this: it'll explain it better than I can. Basically, suid means that the program runs as the owner of that said program. It's usually used to give users more priviledges when running a particular program. A prime example is sendmail: -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root63228 Jan 3 22:24 /usr/sbin/sendmail* The "s" in the permissions mode says that sendmail is setuid root. This means that any user running sendmail will run it as root, thus allowing that user to access certain directories which he/she normally wouldn't have access to. In the case of sendmail, you will see that only root has the right to put anything in /var/spool/mqueue, which is where the mail queue is located. When you send mail with sendmail, sendmail will actually write data in that directory on your behalf, by running as root. You can also do the opposite: suid a program to restrict priviledges when it is run but I haven't seen that much.
