There are several ways of doing that. `secure-su' lets you set things up so that certain users can `su' to become certain other users, and bypass the password. It's convienient to allow some folks to become `webmaster' for instance. `super' lets you set up certain commands to be run as another user. It's pretty easy to do; once you RTFM you'll know as much as I do about it, so I won't go into details. `sudo' is another way; it is perhaps the most popular method of allowing users to run commands as root or as other users. Scripts may be set `SUID' two different ways. Perl programs may use `suidperl', and shell scripts can securely be run SUID using `suidexec', which may be found in the `suidmanager' package. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
