Setuid bit on python script : Linux vs Solaris

Question

I am running this small python script on both linux and Solaris as a not privileged user :

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
print \'uid,euid =\',         


        

Answer 1

You could potentially use sudo to achieve what you want. It runs stuff as different users:

 sudo -u otheruser command

Permissions are set by root using visudo. The setuid/setguid stuff doesn't appear to apply to scripts or the shell in linux, only compiled code.
