Re: SU for group admin
You must write a C program or a set of scripts (less secure) that
manipulate the /etc/groups file in an atomic way and that runs as (suid)
root. This is NOT a trivial programming problem. There are bad security
problems associated with this. The system that this imlpements needs to be
at least as good as the system's passwd security.
