There is a simple solution to the problem of keeping a protected data file for use by a program, and still having the users of the program able to write to their own files. The program should be run setuid to the owner of the protected file. Within the program, the first thing it does is open that file, and the second thing is setuid(getuid()). The protected file remains open, but all further actions occur with the user's permissions. Are you listening, esquire!psl? Charles Poirier (duke!cjp)
