gnome_execute

[danilo lujambio <danilo tau org ar>]

Hi,

may be this is a little off topic question,

we have an application that use gnome_execute_async to call another 
program. This application run with uid = 0 . We never had problems with 
this call, when the program run in a Debian Woody , but some of our 
clients use Red Hat 8.
Using RH, in several ocassions, the program which is called , doesn't 
execute. We made a lot of tests , and we are sure that the program is 
called in good way but the call fails.
We replace the gnome_execute_async with the system function and we have 
the same behavior under RH. I repeat in Debian we didn't have any problem.
I suspect that the problem is that RH has some limit (maybe security 
limit ? ) to execute a shell (as a system function does) from a program 
that run with uid = 0.
Now we are trying using vfork and execl , until today we have good 
results but I am not sure that this is a solution.

Thanks in advance and thanks for yur patient with my english ;-)
