This is done by 38 * utilizing POSIX saved user and group IDs. Call RELINQUISH_PRIVS once 39 * at the beginning of the main program. This will cause all operations 40 * to be executed with the real userid. When you need the privileges 41 * of the setuid/setgid invocation, call PRIV_START; when you no longer 42 * need it, call PRIV_END. Note that it is an error to call PRIV_START 43 * and not PRIV_END within the same function. 44 * 45 * Use RELINQUISH_PRIVS_ROOT(a,b) if your program started out running 46 * as root, and you want to drop back the effective userid to a 47 * and the effective group id to b, with the option to get them back 48 * later. 49 * 50 * If you no longer need root privileges, but those of some other 51 * userid/groupid, you can call REDUCE_PRIV(a,b) when your effective 52 * is the user's. 53 * 54 * Problems: Do not use return between PRIV_START and PRIV_END; this 55 * will cause the program to continue running in an unprivileged 56 * state. 57 * 58 * It is NOT safe to call exec(), system() or popen() with a user- 59 * supplied program (i.e. without carefully checking PATH and any 60 * library load paths) with relinquished privileges; the called program 61 * can acquire them just as easily.
