- Dear netters,
-
- I wrote a setuid script and used the suidscript on the camel book to get an
- executable. Now the permissions on the executable are rwsr-xr-x as expected
- but when somebody else tries to run the script they get the following error:
-
- Can't run setuid script with taint checks.
-
- It runs fine when I run it from my account.
- Could somebody please tell me know why I am getting this error and also
- how I can get around it?
-
- Thanks a lot,
-
