submit scripts whith root privilhges

[Marie helene Neyret]

i want to permit anybody to submit a script which update a system file via
hp/open view menu.
it is necessary for the script to have root's privileges to do this. i haven't
C compilers. do you know how can i do?

thanks for your help !!!

You must be careful giving root priviledges to a broad user base. You can use
a program called sudo to enable this process. Please be more specific and I
could help you resolve this issue.

You might be able to get around it by playing with groups and file
permissions. You could create a new group and put all the users you want to
have this access in it and then make the system file writable by this group.
This should fix it without having to give people root access.

We are using super program.
It has super.tab file in its library where you can set the own grp users and
much more.
I have no idea where to get that program. but I think it is free.

I would like to be able to use the sudo program for the same function.
Could U show me how ? By using the sudo program, do we run any risk of security
?
