setuid in a php prog

I'm trying to run a php script setuid. I've tried POSIX_setuid but you have to be root to run this. The files are located on a public access unix system and have me as the owner and nobody as the group. Rather than make them group writable where in anybody could make a script and write to my files i would like to make them setuid. I tried making a c prog with the setuid function. I used chmod and made it setuid. I called it with the system function from the php prog i use to write to the files. But no Luck. Any Ideas?

I have a script that sometimes is run by myself (user id 501) and sometimes by the mailer program as nobody/nogroup (userid 65534). I would like to change the effective uid to 501 in any case, to get the right permissions, but os.setuid and os.seteuid give me a OSError No. 1. Is there a way to get what I want? My requirement is that the script should work indipendently from the mailer program, i.e I would like to avoid configuring the...

Hi, I have to write a setuid program which is going to check for accesslogs based on the real user who had invoked the executable. I need to get the real and effective user-ids of the system and based on the real user-id i need to filter logs only for that user and give it for further activity. My idea was to get the real userid, groupid and search for a pattern x:userid:groupid in the /etc/password file. But again that involves fork,...

Hello all I have a situation that requires that a python script, that is run from a webpage (via php exec()) must be run with root privileges. The sysadmin already set the setuid bit on the script, but it still fails when it tries to write to any file that only root has write access to. I read somewhere that any scripts that start with "#!" will no

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
