Hi, all

I wrote a perl script to destroy gif interface. It has
a line looks like this:

system("ifconfig","gif0","destroy");

yes, this script is running suidperl and has suid bit
set.

The problem is this script work fine if called under
shell prompt but not working if called by a suidperl
CGI.

Any idea?
