desperation

[cjboboy]

i know this is weird but i need help on something. I recently started going to school for Information technology. Now I have a paper due soon and I cant find anything on the web. Basically I need to write the difference between a UNIX setuid and the LINUX setuid. Andwhy is the linux setuid preffered more. i know very little about this kind of things and I have no idea why they expect me to know this stuff since i just started. So im taking my chance here since this place is crowded by tech guys. I dont need a long explanation, just a brief overview so i would know a little about it. Crossing finger
