you can use a workaround to generate the userid using the username + the pwd
module (which belongs to the standard library) and then pass it to setuid()
import pwd
user_id=pwd.getpwnam("username_here").pw_uid
# i.e: pwd.getpwnam("root").pw_uid = 0
Hello, thank you for the great idea and the beautiful code you wrote. I wonder if there is a way we can switch to another user instead of root?I mean, is there any way to change this line
setuid(0);
to something likesetuser(root);
? or better to ask, how to give the user's name instead of the user's uid?I know my question may seem ridiculous, but I would be grateful if you could help me.
Thank you
