fork() with su (child with other user)
Hi all, i need to execute a program from within my c++ code. This is no problem. system(), fork(), execxy(). But now i want to able to execute the program as another user as the parent process.
The whole thing is on solaris. I should be possible for both, users with no shell and no password (locked users, *LK* in /etc/shadow) and normal users. if anyone knows the op command in solaris. This is what i need to do. sth. like the op.
Thanks in advance, experts!
