I've modified MINIX to allow one to allow a program to set the user id to the effective user id. I've seen some obscure references that say this might be a security problem. My question: is there a good reason to not allow setuid(geteuid())? -- Guy Helmer | helmer@sdnet.bitnet Dakota State University | dsuvax!ghelmer@wunoc.wustl.edu (605) 256-5264, (605) 256-2788 | uunet!dsuvax!ghelmer
