34*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino /* Relinquish privileges temporarily for a setuid or setgid program
35*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * with the option of getting them back later.  This is done by
36*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * utilizing POSIX saved user and group IDs.  Call RELINQUISH_PRIVS once
37*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * at the beginning of the main program.  This will cause all operations
38*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * to be executed with the real userid.  When you need the privileges
39*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * of the setuid/setgid invocation, call PRIV_START; when you no longer
40*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * need it, call PRIV_END.  Note that it is an error to call PRIV_START
41*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * and not PRIV_END within the same function.
42*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  *
43*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * Use RELINQUISH_PRIVS_ROOT(a,b) if your program started out running
44*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * as root, and you want to drop back the effective userid to a
45*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * and the effective group id to b, with the option to get them back
46*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * later.
47*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  *
48*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * If you no longer need root privileges, but those of some other
49*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * userid/groupid, you can call REDUCE_PRIV(a,b) when your effective
50*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * is the user's.
51*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  *
52*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * Problems: Do not use return between PRIV_START and PRIV_END; this
53*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * will cause the program to continue running in an unprivileged
54*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * state.
55*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  *
56*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * It is NOT safe to call exec(), system() or popen() with a user-
57*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * supplied program (i.e. without carefully checking PATH and any
58*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * library load paths) with relinquished privileges; the called program
59*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * can acquire them just as easily.  Set both effective and real userid
60*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino  * to the real userid before calling any of them.
