Python SUID

[Florian Fredegar Haftmann]

Hi!

I wanna make a python script run suid (for root); I tried to use a C 
wrapper:

------------------------------
#define PATH "backup2disk.py"

int main(argc, argv)
	int	argc;
	char**	argv;
{
	execv(PATH, argv);
}
------------------------------

The files have the signature:

-rwsr-xr-x root	root	backup2disk	(the compiled wrapper)
-rwxr-xr-x rppt	root	backup2disk.py	(the python script)


I can start the binary backup2disk, but the python script doesn't run suid.

What's wrong?

Thanks,
FFH
