I am unfortunately unable to come up with a good answer here that doesn't sound like "if you can't figure this out yourself, you shouldn't be writing code that runs as root". At a minimum, read Henry Spencer's very old but still applicable manpage on writing setuid code: http://wwwlistbox.cern.ch/earchive/hep-proj-grid-wp4-lcfg/msg00324.html -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
