Hi, little out of place here, though it's for a script used in a debian-package:
I have a perl-script which does a `/usr/bin/touch FILE` where file is to be in a directory which is setgid news and is group-writable. The script itself is setgid news too. However, this script fails. The /usr/bin/touch runs from within a section that is executed in a fork()-child. Actually all other commands I execute (with backticks) there fail writing to that dir. I tried setting $GID=$EGID in several places to see if this makes a difference, but not. Any wizard out here that knows what to do?
