Hi!
I want my users to be able to execute this script:
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/kbdrate -r 30 -d 250
/etc/init.d/gpm stop
/etc/init.d/gpm start
The problem is that these programs need root's
privileges. I've suid the script root:root but still the programs
say I don't have he right permisions to execute them.
What's going wrong here?
A better/more secure way is to install the package 'sudo'. Then you
can add the command to the /etc/sudoers file:
#= Give 'username' permission to execute 'mycommand' as root
username ALL=/path/to/mycommand
Hope this helps!
