Re: Stop me before I suid again...

["Kurt Seifried" <bt () seifried org>]

On most UNIX systems programs can be setuid and scripts cannot, i.e.
anything that is a text file and starts with "#!/path/to/interpreter". This
is a safety feature as most scripts are inherently insecure and can easily
be passed options that would allow an attacker to compromise the system.
You'll want a setuid wrapper, which comes with Perl most often, but more
importantly you'll want to do some reading, google covers this, and the
various Perl faqs/documentation.
