Hi,
I need to use this special right on a script shell (which uses htpasswd and usermod).
I tryed to test uidbit with a simple 'touch toto' in my script shell (created with root). When a user executes it, the file toto belongs to the user and not to root.
Do you know if something necessary to make uidbit works? in the kernel options?
Thanks for your your answers! ;-)

Youb

The SetUID bit does only work with binary programs. It will not work with scripts.
