- Hello Folks,
-
- We are trying to setup a setuid script on our DECstation 5000/200
- running Ultrix V4.2A. We are having troubles because the (executable)
- script doesn't pass root authority even with root ownership and root
- group. Is there some reason this is difficult in Ultrix? We'd
- appreciate replies from anone who have encountered or overcome this
- (or a similar) problem. Please use email and we'll summarize if there
- is sufficient interest.
-
- Thanks for your help.
