Hi all, I have a completely different question today :)
I've been looking through a couple of perl books, but I need to change the uid of a script i'm running so that when it ssh's to another machine it will use the right ssh ident files. the script is started by the web server (and then forked into the back ground) so it starts out running as root, so changing to another user isn't a problem (probably a good idea even, but perl doesn't seem to have a setuid function ? Have i missed something obvious here ?
