Ellis" Reply-To: "ellis@kcc.com" To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Set execution UID on script Date: Tue, 10 Jun 1997 17:20:47 -0500 Organization: Omni Resources (Green Bay, WI) X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4128 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm missing something on a script I'm attempting to setup for an administration group. The script is this: #!/bin/sh kill -hup `cat /var/run/named.hup` I then do a "chown root:staff rs-named" followed by a "chmod 6750 rs-named". That gives me an set of permissions like this: -rwsr-s--- 1 root staff 46 Jun 10 16:56 rs-named Shouldn't this allow users of the 'staff' group to successfully execute this command? When I try to execute it as anyone but root, I get the following error: kill: 230: Operation not permitted 230 is the PID of named. If it is executing as root, why is kill refusing to send a message to the process? -joshua -- ****[ S-D-G ]***************************************[-0.8090169943749]*** Joshua Ellis, IS Consultant - Omni Resources, Green Bay, WI (800)236-2332 ellis@kcc.com http://www.kimberly-clark.com joshe@elltech.com http://www.joshua.elltech.com > poet-apostate-philosopher-musician-pinhead-hwarang-webmaestro-japh < *************************************************************************
