- okay, looks like i had given up to soon ... :-)
- looking at the manpages on the SunSparc, it said that setuid(x) set's both,
- the uid and the euid. therefore, I replaced the #define by:
- #define seteuid(x) setuid((uid_t)x) ... BUT !
- now I don't have ANY permissions. It's impossible to do a "ls" in your own
- home-directory even ! Any way out of this ????
- Herp.
