   could you please elaborate on this .

i'm using SuSE5.1. i find, just  by copying the shell with root
privilegs doesn't allow the user to become the root(ofcourse ,a simple
C program could do all the trick) .When i invoke this copied shell
from a normal user's a/c ,the shell runs, but with power of that
user and not the root.
