problems with setuid (?)

[Nagesh Pabbisetty]

Hello Wizards,

Here is a simple one for you.

I am having a problem (explained below) with killing processes using a
c-shell script.

I need a way that ANY user can kill xnsstart and xnshelper by running the
xnskill shellscript. xnsstart and xnshelper are created when I run xnsinit
as "root". 


Could anyone tell me why I am having this problem? How can I remedy this?

Thanks for all the help!

problem:
-------

When I login as an unprevileged/normal user and run "/usr/new/xns/xnskill",
I get the following output:

2347: Not owner




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
script file name: xnskill
-----------------
cat xnskill:
-----------

# c-shell script file to kill xnsstart and xnshelper
kill -9 `ps -ax | fgrep xnsstart | fgrep -v fgrep | cut -c1-5`
kill -9 `ps -ax | fgrep xnshelper | fgrep -v fgrep | cut -c1-5`
