Hi, all
Other than by using sudo, is there a way that one account can be given
the privileges of and can run programs owned by another account (that
are not group or world executable)?
We're updating some custom software for a client, and in changing
versions of the software, we've also changed the name of the account
from which the programs are run, and hence the ownership of a lot of the
program files. The client would like to be able to continue running the
programs from UserA, without having to jump through a lot of hoops, even
though the programs are now owned by UserB. We don't want to make the
programs group or world executable, since we only want the administrator
accounts (like UserB and formerly UserA) to have access to this stuff.
TIA and IWS.
