OK here i say again...... how can i get pw to run non-root and actually update a /etc/master.passwd file, and the pwd.db without running it setuid ??? i have a web based perl script that requires the call of pw to make the changes to the neccessary master.passwd file and then update the database, yet pw and pwd_mkdb require setuid 0 , these are for chrooted file systems, called from a cgi under apache, running as nobody. apache will not let me setuid to call pw from the cgi scripts... is there a way around this and if so how ???
