-/*
- Template for a setuid program that calls a script.
-
- The script should be in an unwritable directory and should itself
- be unwritable. In fact all parent directories up to the root
- should be unwritable. The script must not be setuid, that's what
- this program is for.
-
- This is a template program. You need to fill in the name of the
- script that must be executed. This is done by changing the
- definition of FULL_PATH below.
-
- There are also some rules that should be adhered to when writing
- the script itself.
-
- The first and most important rule is to never, ever trust that the
- user of the program will behave properly. Program defensively.
- Check your arguments for reasonableness. If the user is allowed to
- create files, check the names of the files. If the program depends
- on argv[0] for the action it should perform, check it.
-
- Assuming the script is a Bourne shell script, the first line of the
- script should be
- #!/bin/sh -
- The - is important, don't omit it. If you're using esh, the first
- line should be
- #!/usr/local/bin/esh -f
- and for ksh, the first line should be
- #!/usr/local/bin/ksh -p
- The script should then set the variable IFS to the string
- consisting of <space>, <tab>, and <newline>. After this (*not*
- before!), the PATH variable should be set to a reasonable value and
- exported. Do not expect the PATH to have a reasonable value, so do
- not trust the old value of PATH. You should then set the umask of
- the program by calling
- umask 077 # or 022 if you want the files to be readable
- If you plan to change directories, you should either unset CDPATH
- or set it to a good value. Setting CDPATH to just ``.'' (dot) is a
- good idea.
- If, for some reason, you want to use csh, the first line should be
- #!/bin/csh -fb
- You should then set the path variable to something reasonable,
- without trusting the inherited path. Here too, you should set the
- umask using the command
- umask 077 # or 022 if you want the files to be readable
