RE: [cobalt-security] logcheck Problem on Raq3?

[Mat Schaffer <mschaffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could try setuid root on the appropriate binaries.  Although any setuid
root binary is a potential security problem.
The command is "chmod u+s <binary file>" assuming root owns the file.
The binary will then always run as root.  But be careful with this one.  It
also doesn't work AFAIK on scripts, just binaries.
