Hi

could you please help me to clarify the doubts regarding SUID.

I have a shell script called a.sh and inside i am appending the value to text file called CONF. The permissions of both files are

-rwsr-x--x 1 john J1 a.sh
-rwx------ 1 Johb J1 CONF

and i trying to run this script in other user called mak. While runing a.sh in mak user. a.sh gives the error saying that permission denied.

While checking with SUID doc's that say if i set s to file that will own the privilege of owner. In that case why i am getting the error. Could you please help me on understanding the Set-UID.


Thanks

I don't think you want setuid. Try sudo.
