Re: top for non-root users

Are you getting an error message while trying to do so?.

Give the output of "ls -l top" and "id "

Re: top for non-root users

1) Make sure root is the owner.

2) chmod 4755 - Sets user ID on execution.

Ashish,

As Vic indicated all you need is suid bit set on the top executable and make sure it's owned by root.

Ross
