rehash the faq this weekend, but instead i'm going to germany,
so maybe next week.

Hi Everyone,
I have just written a perl script that I would like to set setuid on, however
perl gives me the warning.
YOU HAVEN'T DISABLED SET-ID SCRIPTS IN THE KERNEL YET!
FIX YOUR KERNEL, PUT A C WRAPPER AROUND THIS SCRIPT, OR USE -u AND UNDUMP!
Now, I have already read the FAQ
5.13) Why do setuid Perl scripts complain about kernel problems?
However, I am at a loss...
I understand that I have to put a C wrapper around this script.. However,
how do I do that... I have never dealt with wrappers before, so if someone
could step me through it generically... I would be very appreciative
Thanks,
Chris
