 |
|
Hi all!
I wanted to let an unpriviledged user start and stop sshd, so I wrote this script
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/sshd start
|
and suid'ed it
but now /sbin/runscript.sh complains that I "must be root to run init scripts". Is there a simple way to get this working without using sudo (and of course withount suid'ing runscript.sh)? Thanks! |

| suid'ing a script is not gonna change the $EUID of the user executing it - which is what runscripts checks on - sudo will do that, so I'm afraid you will either have to sudo or create your own startup-script without runscript. |
