Running setuid programs under NUCFS

To allow UnixWare users to execute programs on a NetWare volume that have the setuid bit turned on, are owned by root, and have that program run with the effective user ID of root (0), you must first manually mount the volume as root:

1. Log in to UnixWare as root.

2. Enter the following commands at the shell prompt:
   
   nwlogin server/admin-user
   mount -F nucfs server/volume mount-point

   where server is the name of the server on which the volume resides, admin-user is the administrative login on that server (usually SUPERVISOR or ADMIN), volume is the volume name, and mount-point is the UnixWare directory name where you want to mount the volume.

   UnixWare user can now run commands that have the setuid bit set from the NetWare volume mounted under the mount-point. The commands will run on UnixWare with an effective user ID of the owner of the file.

3. To unmount the volume, type:
   
   umount mount-point
