Talk:Setuid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Speaking as a newbie trying to understand this concept, a few things could be done to improve this article:
- Provide an explanation of 'elevated privledges'
- Describe different ways of viewing the suid and what it would look like
- If this article is also meant to cover setgid, a bit more explanation would be helpful, and again examples of how you can tell its set
- Expansion in the directories section would really be helpful
- I have one more: I guess not every user is always allowed to use setuid on every files. So there must first be a password check or something similar. So, how can a user change the execution privilege level when he/she is currently not entitled to do so? --Abdull 11:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
