Re: [uug] set-uid

[Andrew Jorgensen]

setuid does nothing on a script. If you think about it this makes sense. 
The interpreter would have to be setuid because it is not, in fact, the 
script that is executed, but the interpreter.

Hi!

I'm trying to make a script that create new users, using useradd.
This script would be owned by root but it will be used just by a normal 
user.
I set:

chmod ug+s myscript

-rwsr-sr-x  root sys  myscript

but when this user runs the script it recieve the following answer:

error: useradd failed
you are not authorized to administer users and groups
Shoul i set chmod ug+s for useradd, passwd and users too?

Please need help

Thanks for your attention

Jose Torralba
