If any binary files can be exec as suid, then I would recommend python. It will have more of the feel of a script with its high level view of things. Python programs can be byte-compiled to .pyo files. It may be an option to have the .pyo file suid while hiding the .py source itself. Just a thought. | can a user have permission to exec a script | contained in a directory they don't have read | access to? | Hmm, there's an idea. They would have to know the name for certain since ls wouldn't help them. But I think that they would still be able to read the file. Try it and see. ;-) | | xucaen -D
