I have an application that must run as a setuid(0) one and I'd like that the application's accouting informations are not charged to root, but to the user who called this app. Any idea on how to do? -- Christophe Wolfhugel | Email: wolf@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr INSA Lyon - Departement Informatique | Fax: (+33) 72 44 08 00 69621 Villeurbanne Cedex, France | (Attn-To: Wolfhugel - C 210) Disclaimer: these are my own opinions, not my employer's.

If you're talking accton(1) accounting, SUID programs are still attributed
to the real UID of the user who executed the command, not to the effective
UID.
