I have spent the last several hours pouring through docs on suid and racking my mind. My script isn't working. Here is a long listing of my script: -rwsr-sr-- 1 root wheel 379 Dec 5 12:57 myprog The contents of my prog are: #!/bin/bash cat /root/file1; User Jamie is on the group wheel, but when jamie goes to execute myprog the system qweefs like this: cat: /root/file1: Permission denied I am using Red Hat 6.2. As I am understanding the documentation, since jamie is on wheel, when he executes this program, the program will run as root, and if the file is running as root, it would have the file access privelages as root. Am I wrong?? Evidently I am, but then it would seem to be incongruent with what all my books are telling me. I have also tried running myprog as root, and it works fine then. One last thing I should include is a pic of my root directory where file1 is: drwxr-x--- 15 root root 4096 Dec 5 02:32 root and here is a long listing of file1: -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 5 Dec 5 01:05 file1 - Jme
