I 've developed a quota web form that sends the post data to a C cgi
script, which in turn looks at the username and password to make sure
its a valid account on our hpux 11 system, which works great. The
problem is when the setuid root C program tries to use the quota -v
command I receive the following error
quota kory (uid 3333) permission denied this script is setuid root and
the permissions allow the web server access. Why would I receive this
error, I can do other commands this way.
Here is my C line of code
execl("/usr/bin/quota","quota","-v", username, (char*) 0);
