|---|
| 23 | .B Setuid
|
|---|

|
|---|

| 27 | Unprivileged users may only change both user ID's
|

| 28 | to the real user ID; only the super-user may
|
|---|
| 29 | make other changes.

|---|
| 36 | .B Setgid
|
|---|
| 37 | may also set the group ID's to any of the additional group ID's.
|
|---|
| 38 | If one of the
|
|---|
| 39 | remembered user ID's was 0 then any user or group ID may be chosen.
|
|---|
