RE: apache mod_perl + suid question

Yes, I am running it as /usr/sbin/usermod. I can run my wrapper
with a simple perl script written on linux. The problem appears
when I try to run it through the apache mod_perl.

thanks.

Try '/usr/sbin/usermod' instead of 'usermod'. It may be a path issue.

Also, 'usermod' might have to be run interactively (rather than
reading from standard input), so you may have to create a virtual
terminal in order to interface with usermod. (I might be wrong on
this, and I can't elaborate further.)
