I'm having trouble finding out how setuid works. I was under the impression that if you set the setuid bit with `chmod +s prog` that when the program was run it would run with the permissions of its owner, instead of the user running the program. So the effective UID gets set to the owner of the file, while the actual UID is the user running the program. Is this right or do I have something wrong?
I ask because I have a perl script which I would like to be run as a different user, no matter who runs it. Is there something different with perl since the interpreter is in there somewhere?
