I have noticed that some users who have been given extra priveleges
like PHY_IO, LOG_IO, and SHARE cannot set their privs in a spawned
process, unless they are DEFAULT PRIVS as well.
However when I spawn out of GNUEmacs, {C-x, C-z} I can set mine if the
top process had SETPRV too. Is there a way that the privs for others
are mapped into their sub-process without changing their privs to DEFAULT ?
Or are they doing something wrong when they run a MORE_PRIV.COM which
simply is SET PROC/PRIVS=whatever
