suid scripts in python?
#1
i'm assuming a normal python engine is unsafe for running an suid script on a POSIX system. but maybe someone has a patch or wrapper that can make it safe? i'm trying to think through a front-end for that, now. i wonder what risks might still exist during the run of a script as root by a non-root user trying to execute his choice of code or commands with root privileges.
