As root, I made a text file (named t ) that did something like
echo $USER | tee xx
and then had it set user-id (I did 'chmod 4755 t'). As a plain user, I
made a directory that only root can write my current directory and then
invoked t (by giving a path-name to it). It reported that the USER was
the plain user and couldn't write into the directory. It appears that the
set user-id didn't work, but I also checked t with ls -l and the
permissions were rwsr-xr-x , exactly like that of passwd and xterm
(except maybe for the write permission of the owner).
How do I get set user-id to work?
