Dear All,

I got several months ago a remote Linux RedHat 8.0 server with C Panel 8.4.0
that was installed by my provider.I have the root access.

I'm not new in Linux (nor as programmer) but I'm facing this problem:
I (badly)neede  to make a SUID C program BUT any time when I run the program
the setuid (seteuid ent the similar) function does not work at all and I get
the runtime  message error code(errno=1):
"OPERATION NOT PERMITTED".
I asked my provider if some default security settings on my Linux system
prevents it from working properly but he doesn't know.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Daniel Pope
