I've tracked down the problem I've been having in my own su program to the fact that the setgid() call failes when attempt to setgid to the uucp group. setuid() works fine. I would assume it has to do with who is/isn't allowed in a group. If an program is running suid to root, why can it not set the group id? Or does the group id have to be set before the uid?? -kwh- -- Kevin W. Hammond hammond@kwhpc.caseng.com Looking for a real operating system? Try Linux. CASE Engineering * 575 W.
