Ssystem & non root

[Joerg_Westheide@su.maus.de (Jörg Westheide)]

Hi Katherine!

KLE>The fact to be root is ok for those calls I guess, you don't want any
KLE>user change those,
My patch doesn't enable a user to change the setting it only enables him to
inquire the actual setting

KLE>However it should consider the suid flag for the program using those
KLE>calls
It does (Ssystem() checks the euid). If the euid is non root you are not able
to change a setting

KLE>EVEN with suid, you can't change sync_time.
I didn't try it but from the source it looks OK.
What exactly is the problem?

Bye
