Well, you may want to read the Wikipedia entry on setuid / setgid as this will let you know what they are (specific to the Unix OS). Also, if you are using these, you may also want to read the perlsec perldoc page.

Regards,

Jeff

Hello, This is not a troll posting, and I've refrained from asking because I've seen similar threads get all nitter-nattery. But I really want to make a decision on how best to invest my time. I'm not interested on which language is better in *general*, just for my purpose. My area of research is in CAD algorithms, and I'm sensing the need to resort to something more expedient than C++, bash scripting, or sed scripting.

Given that setuid is a Bad Thing for scripts, what is the general consensus here on running a Python script via 'sudo' to give it root system access? Is this reasonably secure, or am I still asking for trouble?

Hello, given the following situation: I have a script which is readable and executable by a user, but not writable. The users executes the scripts, it reads in a value and based on this value it computes a result and stores it in a variable. Can the user read out the value of this variable? If yes, can he be prevented to do so?

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.
