[Linuxcommand-discuss] security_check

[root <ro...@te...>]

Here's a small function that may want to be included into the the
new_script program:

--CUT--

function security_check
{
        #####
        #       check to make sure the person running this is root or
	#	equivalent
        #####

        if [ `id -u` != 0 ]; then
                echo "ERROR: Only Superuser may use this program."
                exit 1
        fi
}

--CUT--

possibly add this in when the questioin is asked about security
information? Soo... just in case the 'installee' chmod's the program 755
or something and others have access to it, just a quick little way to add
some backup protection :)
