Hi,

One more question guys....

I need to become "su " during a script and then execute a script and then exit back and become the normal user.

How can this be done ?

It says " Permission denied "

Do i need to set some environment for this ?

Thanks

This is what i did :

remsh localhost[-l root] [-n] <some command>

and i got permission denied.

Yes , u have to touch /etc/hosts as root

See de man pages of remsh and rlogin for more..

Cheers

what will "touch /etc/hosts" as root do ?

Pardon my ignorance please, but i really did not get that part.

Dont I have to provide the root password some where in this command ?

remsh localhost[-l root] [-n] <some command>

And since i need to su to my localmachine, is the localhost mentioned in the command appropriate ?


Thanks

Sorry , i was trying to explain that you have to modify the /etc/hosts (don´t touch it) for authentication as root using remsh ...
