Difference between normal Execute permission and GUID
Hi,

Any can explain the difference between the normal execute permission for the file and GUID of the file.

Since the normal execute permission has right to execute file why there is need of providing GUID for the same file.

Also share some examples for SUID and SGID programs.

Regards
Siva

What do you call normal execution?
The normal execution will depend on permissions of the file, the directory etc...

Please post what Operating System and version you have and on which hardware. Most (but not all) of the programs needing SUID are hardware and O/S specific.

One of the few common commands on my unix system which is both SUID and SGID is the wall command.


The first part of our post does not make sense to me. Please post a real world example.
