Hi All,
I just transported a program from Red Hat Linux 6.2 to Red Hat Linux 7.3.
The C program has a line stating:
system ("whoami");
The permission of the executable is 6777 (ie. -rwsrwsrwx) and the
owner of the program is "user1".
Using another user login "user99", I execute the program in both Red Hat
Linux 6.2 and 7.3.
In 6.2, I get the output "user1"
In 7.3, I get the output "user99"
Why is this? Is there any way I can get the program work as it did
in Red Hat Linux 6.2?
Thanks in advance.
