Sorry, but my C programming skills are way out of touch. I want to
let some part-time workers be able to add users without having root
access, so I believe I have to run a script setuid. If someone could
help me with the syntax of this C program, or recommend a better way
of accomplishing the same, I would deeply appreciate it.
It will run the perl script "newadd.pl", which runs the adduser,
edquota, etc. code. Thanks.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
main(int){
setuid(setuid 0);
system ("perl /scrog/newadd.pl");
}
