Re: [SLE] Setuid perl scripts?

When I try to start a setuid perl script on suse-10.0, I get the error
"Can't do seteuid!". I know there was a racing condition with set-id
scripts a long time ago. But isn't it fixed by now? Or do I need to
enable some kernel-option to enable set-id scripts?

no kernel option, you just need to change the permission on the file:
chmod 5711 /sr/sbin/suidperl

by the way, the next time you will run yast, SuSeconfig will change it
back to the previous permissions. You need to modify /etc/permissions
