You might want to use the "super" utility to run scripts that set uid for you. You edit the /etc/super.tab file to tell it how much authority a script can have and who is allowed to run it. For example, I have cdmount /usr/local/bin/cdmount uid=root [EMAIL PROTECTED] cdumount /usr/local/bin/cdumount uid=root [EMAIL PROTECTED] in mine. the cdmount/cdumount scripts can just have the full mount and umount commands that I would run as root. Normally you would use them by doing "super cdmount" at the prompt, but if you look in the examples in /usr/doc/super after installing it you'll see how to make the super-invoking built-in. -- -Mike Horansky, Leland Consultant (http://consult.stanford.edu/) [EMAIL PROTECTED] OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY ME ARE NOT NECESSARILY SHARED BY MY EMPLOYERS. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
