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