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