- Here is a response from someone else here on the Change Team:
-
- "Put them all in a group called "studboys" and have a setuid program
- executable only by this group that sets its nice value to -5, then
- exec's /bin/ksh (or whatever). Make this program their login shell."
-
- I can't see why this wouldn't work. Make sure the C program doesn't
- exec the ksh as root.
