Suid is a bit set on executables that results in them being run as the user that owns the file without needing a password, for example, passwd as root.

Run0 ignores this bit

What a nice succinct explanation!

But also completely useless. Run0 ignores the suid bit for the same reason as 99% of command line apps do: it ignores because it isn't relevant to its functionality.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
