-is when a program has the <tt>u+s</tt> permission bit set. This means that the program runs with the EffectiveUid of the person that owns the file, not the person that runs the program. For instance a SetUid program owned by <tt>root</tt> would run as <tt>root</tt> instead of a normal user when executed.
-
-To run a progam completely as a new user, it needs to be SetUid to that user, and you need to execute
-
-<verbatim>
-setregid( getegid(), getegid() );
-setreuid( geteuid(), getegid() );
-</verbatim>
-
-Many progams need this, as they will drop any [EUID
] permissions on startup
. You can do so using:
-
-<verbatim>
-setregid( getgid(), getgid() );
-setreuid( getuid(), getuid() );
-</verbatim>
