Thanks to Ingo for refering me to this group.
I'm a newbie with perl scripts and I'm having
problem running my copied script to my server. Can anybody who is
patient enough to help me with my problem?
I have a chpass.pl which is being executed by a change password web
utility page. This script tries to update a password on my linux
server /etc/shadow with a file permision rw------. my chpass.pl was
set to -rwsr-sr-x ,
with this file permission, I'm getting an error: Can't do setuid,
referer: http://.......
When I set the file permision of the chpass.pl to -rwsr-xr-x , I get
the error: file permision denied by the file /etc/shadow..
When I chmod 777 the /etc/shadow then everything works but I'm sure
its not safe to do that.. I cannot figure out how could I make this
work with the original file permission of the files shadow and
chpass.pl unchanged for I knew this was been working before with
another machine with almost a copycat of my server.
PLS..
Thanks...
