help with user permission
hi everyone.
iīve been burning my head for a week now with this problem and i couldnīt find a solution. iīve been looking for an answer in this forum but nothing either. so i decided to ask.
the thing is, i want to create a users with permission to kill just a group of users. i know how to write the script and everything, but my problem is that that user has no permission to kill other users. i understand that only a user with UID=0 can kill another user. i dont want to grant this particular user with root privileges, since that would be stupid.
the "sudo" could help me, but its not installed on my server. can anyone find another way to do it?
im working on a "SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440"
thanks a lot people.
